Canada Day Birch Log Centerpiece

With Canada Day fast approaching, I wanted to add some simple decor to my backyard area to reflect this special holiday.  I began by creating this simple rustic centerpiece for the fire bowl table on our patio. Here's some details on how I put it together.

I needed the centerpiece to be easily removable for when we take the cover off the fire bowl to light it or if it starts raining.  Thus, I put the arrangement in a square black tray.

This red maple leaf patterned dish towel was a recent purchase from the Dollar Store and made a terrific themed runner under the centerpiece.

This trio of birch log candleholders (made for me by Mr D a few years back) were perfect for the rustic Canadiana look I was going for.

I tied red/white checked ribbon around them.

A bit of faux greenery with faux white flowers were arranged around the birch logs. 
I also tucked in some red grapevine balls.

These little flag picks were placed inside the ribbon at various heights.

There you have it - a simple rustic Canada Day centerpiece for the backyard.

Here's another simple way to add Canada Day decor to your outdoor space - arrange flags into your potted plants.

It doesn't get much easier than that!
