The birch tree is one of my favorite holiday crafting resources because there is just so much you can do with its gorgeous bark! This time I made birch tea light holders to put down the center of my holiday table. Aren't they just beautiful?

This is one of many, many craft ideas if you can get a hold of some birch logs. I was lucky enough to get these from my good friend Sonya who was going to cut them up into firewood!! Shame on you, Sonya.
