Chisel a hole out of a log slice and create rustic home decor perfect for the holidays

Rustic chic decor isn't going anywhere, it seems. One of the big staples of rustic chic decor is sliced wood. It's everywhere, from the home to weddings to baby rooms and everywhere in between. Not only is it inexpensive (especially if you own a chainsaw and a couple of trees), it is a unique way to bring the outdoors into your indoor decor.
Large and small, there are unlimited possibilities for recycling trees/branches. Today we are going to run down a quick list of unique ways to repurpose slices of wood in varying sizes into delightful decor. So get ready to be inspired, especially with the first project we have on our list.
