How do you decorate for winter when the days are short with grey, dim weather? Add a cozy vibe to your home with string lights and birch tree decor! See this quick 10 Minute Winter Decorating Birch Branches Idea. Beautiful birch tree logs in a vase draped with gold globe lights will brighten gloomy winter days and is a great way to decorate a small space in your home! Perfect for a tiny house, apartments and condos!
This corner is in our kitchen beside the sliding glass doors that lead to our back deck.
This wintery birch filled vase with globe lights adds a pretty glow to our kitchen – I love looking at it while I’m preparing meals!
Since it’s in our kitchen I thought it fitting to fill the vase with dried white beans!
However, you can use any vase filler you like for this decor project!
10 Minute Winter DIY Decorating Birch Branches Idea
This is a fabulous way to decorate using your vertical space, perk up a drab corner in your home and is a perfect idea if you live in a small apartment,condo or dorm room!
Supplies:
– 3 packages of dried white beans
– 3 or 4 birch logs
-1 set globe string lights
– 1 wintery garland
- my favorite gold spray paint
Directions:
Fill a glass vase with dried white beans.
Take 3 or 4 birch logs – and stick them into the beans so that the poles stand straight up.
Add a string of globe lights – I spray painted mine gold with my favorite gold spray paint!
Loop the lights up and down the poles loosely.
Add a wintery berry and pine garland – loosely wrap it around the poles.
Done!
Isn’t it pretty?

March 24, 2017 at 6:08 pmHi, Heather … I’m a new follower ~ signing up right after I ordered both short (for interior fireplace display) and 6′ Birch Poles to use both in our home and in my vendor space displays! I am excited for them to arrive, because I will put them out immediately (to give a cooler feel to this crazy Texas weather), and use them year ’round! A friend has brought me some short ones from trips to Minnesota, but she found no tall “poles” such as these! Using beans for a filler is a great idea, also!
Love your style … and looking forward to more great ideas! Thanks for these!
p.s. My hubby is from an Air Force family, so I know of the challenges as well as the benefits from that life … thank you all for your service!
