Here is an easy DIY Fall candle project. You will need access to wood at least three inches in diameter. We used buckthorn which is a very invasive bush that many communities require that you remove anyway. One of the very good qualities of buckthorn is that has a very rich color to the wood with well defined grain. Your candles will look very good in this type of wood.
Start with the basics. Cut a section of wood a couple of feet long. This will give you enough material for a grouping of candles of various heights. Find a wood drill bit that will make a hole big enough for the the candle to fit in. Drill the hole just deep enough for the tea light candle to fit in.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I'm curious to know if they need to or could be sealed with something on the outside? I'm thinking about the wood (bark) leaving a mess whether it be from moving them from place to place or during storage if necessary. Is this not a problem? That is what has always prevented me from making them all of these years. I love naturally beautiful projects and decor like this.
