Materials needed:
- Tree trunk in the desired length
- saw
- branch with a thicker diameter
- drill
- glue
- Small hooks
- Willow branches, acorns, pine cones, moss or similar decorative elements
Step 1: A touch of natural magic
- Begin your DIY adventure by sawing off a piece of the tree trunk to your desired length. This will create the foundation for your unique garden lighting.
Step 2: Positioning your feet – indentations for stability
- To create the bases for your garden lights, saw two notches into what will be the underside, each perfectly sized to fit a thick tree branch. This will not only give your artwork stability but also a natural charm.
Step 3: A place for the light – drilling with feeling
- Now, carefully drill a hole into the top of the tree trunk, going slightly into the trunk but not all the way through. Then you can carve a branch so that it fits perfectly into the hole.
Step 4: The branch finds its place – stability through glue
- Gently insert the branch into the charming hole. For extra hold and a long-lasting connection, you can secure the branch with a little glue.
Step 5: Shedding light on the darkness – Small hooks for the tea lights
- Your artwork is taking shape! Now attach small hooks to the branch to provide a secure place for the tea lights.
Step 6: The final touch of magic – nature meets decoration
- Almost finished! Let your creativity run wild and decorate the tree trunk and branch with willow twigs, acorns, pine cones, moss, or other natural treasures. This will create not just garden lighting, but an artistic natural ensemble.
Bathe your home in the warm glow of this homemade garden lighting. May your DIY project bring warmth and light to your evenings in the garden!
