In this article, we'll explore two DIY project ideas that showcase the natural beauty of wood. First, we will learn how to create a wooden log candle or lamp holder. Next, we'll look at how to use wood slices to create rustic decorations.

Creation of a candle holder or lamp made of wooden log

If you're looking for a unique way to showcase your candles or lamps, a wooden log candle or lamp holder is the perfect solution. Here are the steps to follow to complete this project:

Materials needed:

  • A log of wood approximately 20 to 30 cm long and 10 to 15 cm in diameter
  • A drill
  • A jigsaw
  • Abrasive paper
  • A candle or a lamp

Steps :

  1. Start by cutting a slice of the log using the jigsaw. This slice will serve as the base for the candle or lamp.
  2. Use the drill to make a hole in the center of the edge of the log. The diameter of the hole should be large enough so that the candle or lamp can fit securely.
  3. Use the jigsaw to cut a hole in the side of the log, just below the center hole. This hole should be large enough for you to insert the candle or lamp.
  4. Use sandpaper to sand the log, making sure it is smooth and even.
  5. Insert the candle or lamp into the holes and admire your creation!

Using Wood Slices to Create Rustic Decorations

Wood slices are perfect for creating rustic and natural decorations for your home. Here are some ideas for using these wooden slices:

  1. Wooden slice coasters: To do this, simply cut wooden slices about 1 cm thick and sand them smooth. You can then use them as coasters for your drinks.

  2. Centerpiece made of wooden slices: to create a rustic and natural centerpiece, place several wooden slices of different sizes on a table. You can add candles, flowers or plants for an even more spectacular effect.

  3. Wooden slice photo holder: To do this, use a drill to make a hole in the top of the wooden slice, then insert a wire into the hole. You can then hang a photo or postcard from this wire to create a unique and personalized photo holder.

In conclusion, wood is a very versatile material that can be used in many ways to create rustic and natural decorations. Whether you choose to create a wooden log candle or lamp holder or use wooden slices to create decorations, you are sure to create unique pieces.
