There's something about birches that everyone (or at least I do) love; they are so naturally chic. Everytime I pass fallen birch branches on my dog walks in the woods, I'm always thinking what I can do with them. Usually I plunk them in glass vases, which always looks nice. However, here are a few different projects if you feel like being more crafty.
These birch tealight holders were made by a good friend. She simply took fallen birch and drilled out a piece large enough to hold a tealight. Voila!
Again, find a fallen birch branch, and bore out the center. Drop a small glass inside and you've got a gorgeous bud-vase.
{Oh, and then there are these from Viva Terra: not exactly natural, but no less chic. For the city gal who can't just 'pick up' some birch: }
Both are made with recycled aluminum.
Hurry! These vases are 50% off!

What a great idea! I wish we had Birch trees in our area in Calgary.

You can add some fab greenery to your home...like Jessica Helgerson (see my post about her below and you'll see what I mean).
ReplyDeleteDid you see the Loyal Loot post? Maybe you could do that too with maple:)
