Wooden decorations look beautiful on their own, but are often lost in a densely planted garden. The situation is completely different with decorations made from birch trunks. The white bark attracts everyone's attention and rightly puts the small work of art in the spotlight. On this page you will find creative suggestions to enrich your garden with this attractive type of wood.
What garden decorations can you make from birch trunks?
Garden decoration made from birch trunks can be designed as a candle holder, flower pot, seat, partition or lighting. The white bark and the natural shapes of the birch trunks create interesting accents in your garden.
For the garden table
Candle holder
A mild summer evening on the terrace only becomes truly romantic in the light of candles. If the bright tea lights shine from a birch trunk, the evening will be unforgettable.
- To do this, drill small holes with the depth and diameter of conventional tea lights in a birch trunk.
- Now put the tea lights in.
- Place the birch trunk on your garden table.
- Light the candles at dusk.
Flower pot
- Hollow out several birch trunks of different lengths.
- Place this on a coaster.
- Fill some soil in it.
- Plant the birch trunks with flowering plants.
As garden furniture
Seat or storage space
- Saw several birch trunks into many pieces of equal length.
- Place these together in a vertical position so that a circular surface is created.
- Tie the birch trunks together with a cord.
- Depending on the intended use, upholster the seat with cushions.
Partition wall
Partitions made of willow or bamboo can be found in almost every garden. The situation is completely different with long-lasting birch trunks, which also provide great privacy protection. Cut individual branches to the desired height and simply stick them next to each other in the ground. Additional decorative elements such as bottles or pearl necklaces complete the look.
Lighting
- Put two tall birch trunks into the ground to the left and right of your garden seating area.
- Ideally, these have a branch fork at the top.
- Put another birch trunk vertically here.
- If necessary, nail this one down.
- Wrap the frame with a string of lights (€14.00 on Amazon) or hang colorful lanterns on it.
