You Will Need
-
Step 1Cut a branch from a tree that is about 3-4 inches in diameter. I used buckthorn because it is a nice hardwood and it is an invasive species that should be cut down anyway.
-
Step 2Using a mitre or a saw, cut the lengths of candles you desire. I recommend a small, medium and large. You can cut as many as you like.
-
Step 3Using a one inch bit, drill holes into the tops of each candle. These should be just deep enough so that a tea light candle will be flush with at the top.
-
Step 4Place the tea candles in the holes, arrange on a table, and you are done.

I love the fact that you focused on an invasive species. People don't usually think about protecting our ecosystems when they harvest natural materials for a craft. Awesome post.
