After seasonal storms sweep through the Midwestern countryside, our wooded lot is often scattered with fallen branches and trees. During the cooler months, we gather this found wood to fuel our winter fires, and occasionally set aside special pieces for craft projects.
One of my favorite holiday ideas is creating a rustic Christmas tablescape with flameless candles nestled in wooden stumps. While real tea lights may look charming, they pose a fire risk in dry wood—so flameless candles are the safer choice.
To make these, simply drill a hole into each stump using a bit that matches the candle’s width, going deep enough for the candle to sit securely. Arrange stumps of varying sizes and shapes together, then add greenery for a festive, natural touch.
Wishing you a warm and happy holiday season!
