Step One: Mark the placement of your tea lights by marking the base of each tea light on the wood round with a pencil.

Step Two: Drill your marked holes as deep as you desire your tea light to sit. For the taller birch round, we went 3/4" deep, but for the shorter round, we only did 1/4" deep.

Step Three: Insert your tea lights in their places and light them up for some cozy ambiance!

See, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3! I know, it does take a little know-how with the drill, but if you have that (or can enlist someone who does), this project won't take you long at all. I've already used the tea lights a couple times for a craft night with some friends or evening dinners outside. I think a bunch of birch rounds in different heights and widths, with tea lights and candlesticks, spread along the middle of a table would be wonderful decor for your Thanksgiving table. What do you think? Of course, make sure to leave room for the turkey, stuffing, and pie! -Rubyellen
