Cinnamon Stick Crafts – The Smell of Christmas In Your Home
It’s interesting how certain smells or sounds remind us of specific things, a person, a place or an activity. Cinnamon is the smell of Christmas. Oranges also have a similar effect.
So, to welcome the spirit of Christmas into your home, use cinnamon in your crafts. We have projects that can make the holidays more enjoyable.
Cinnamon sticks and dried orange slices are perfect for making your home smell like Christmas. Use them to create a beautiful garland. Begin with twelve cinnamon sticks and tie them together to form the himmeli. Add a dried orange slice, then repeat with another himmeli and another orange slice.
Keep repeating until you reach the desired length.
If you liked the garland, you can also use cinnamon sticks to make individual himmeli ornaments for the Christmas tree. For each ornament, you’ll need 12 cinnamon sticks, three wooden beads, twine, a heavy-duty needle, and scissors.
To create these Christmas ornaments, you only need three cinnamon sticks and a piece of twine or leather cord. The sticks can be adorned with springs glued to the right corner. Get creative and make your own personalized version decorated with your choice of embellishments.
Using cinnamon sticks to make Christmas ornaments is not limited to just one method. One fun idea is to create cinnamon snowflakes, like the ones featured on Camillestyles. These charming snowflakes are crafted using cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise, twine, and a hot glue gun.
Not only do they emit a delightful aroma, but they also possess an adorable aesthetic. There are numerous creative ways to showcase these fragrant ornaments, making them perfect for both personal use and gift-giving.
You can make your home smell nice with scented candles. Make some yourself with a Christmas-themed flavor. Find a tutorial on Tagandtibby that explains how to do this.
Start by chopping cinnamon bark and preparing small dip bowls. Place a natural candle wick in each bowl and pour in the candle wax mixture. Once it hardens, cut the wick and sprinkle cinnamon on each candle.
Scented ornaments are a way to decorate your Christmas tree with cookie ornaments. Make the dough by mixing cinnamon, applesauce, glue, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom. The ornaments are not edible but smell delicious.
Use cookie cutters and a straw to shape and bake the cookies, then hang them. Find the recipe on Pomashdesign.
A similar idea is showcased on Adventures-in-making. This time, the ornaments are glittered. You can follow the same recipe and use the same cookie cutters.
After cutting the dough, apply glue and then cover the ornaments with glitter. These can be used as tree ornaments or gift tags.
Use these ornaments for the Christmas tree or gift toppers. They’ll look lovely and smell wonderful. They’re easy to make. Gather cinnamon sticks into a bouquet and tie twine around them.
Add small jingle bells or beads.
