Nothing says Christmas quite like the sweet smell of spices. This is a decoration that will look lovely on your tree, and make your house smell delectable too.
The first thing you need is cinnamon sticks. I very much doubt even the most avid crafter will go out and harvest the inner bark of cinnamomum trees to make their own sticks, so you don’t need to feel bad about buying them. I would stay away from buying the normal sticks that you find in supermarkets though, they can be bought much more cheaply through floristry supply shops. They are more hollow than the ones used for cooking, but still look and smell just as good.
Firstly you need to bundle the cinnamon sticks, I arranged mine into little piles of three. Bind the sticks together using hot glue gun, if you don’t have one ordinary craft glue will do, the bundles will just need to be left to dry for longer. Once the glue is dry use a piece of coloured ribbon to tie around the sticks. Raffia or sting would work just as well it’s purely a matter of personal taste. I used red ribbon for all of my decorations.
Once the cinnamon sticks are tied together you can add an extra loop of ribbon can be attached to the existing bow, or fixed onto the bundle using glue, to make a hanger.
Bundles of cinnamon sticks hung on a tree look and smell really lovely, but they can be used for all sorts of other Christmas crafts too. Try using the assorted bundles to make table decorations, or add to a plain Christmas wreath for a personal touch.

Cinnamon sticks are perfect for wreaths. They also go really well in centerpieces on the dinner table. The smell of cinnamon always makes me hungry.
My sitting room smells absolutely fantastic after making these, especially combined with the smell of orange slices. I’ve seen some amazing wreaths made from orange slices this year too.
