Description

This is a very simple project that turns an invasive species of plant into some beautiful candles.

Instructions

  1. Small img 9658 601x400

    Cut 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.

  2. Small img 9671 601x400

    Using 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.

  3. Small img 9679 601x400

    Using 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.

    Place the tea candles in the holes, arrange on a table, and you are done.
