Rustic Brick Centerpiece Tutorial

Materials Needed:

old brick (Holes in the brick are ideal for candle spacing, but not necessary.)
scouring pad
warm, soapy water
faux moss
twine
3 tea lights
hot glue, glue gun
any embellishments you want to add

Directions:

1. Begin by giving the brick a good cleaning. Your scouring pad and warm, soapy water is perfect for this. This will not only make it look great, but will help the embellishments adhere better.
2. Wrap the faux moss around the outside of the brick. Cut it to fit. Remove the moss and add a line of hot glue, then replace the moss. Press it gently to the glue. Note that the glue will not hold the moss entirely, but just acts as extra support. We used moss that is sold on a roll and found at most craft stores. You could also buy a sheet of it and cut to fit.
3. Cut a piece of twine to fit around the brick. Wrap it around the brick and tie into a bow. The twine not only looks great, but will also help hold the moss in place.
4. Place a tea light on each hole at the top of the brick. Each brick will hold about 3 tea lights. If the tea lights fit in the hole, go ahead and add them!
5. Light your tea lights and display.
