Cinnamon Spice Bundle Christmas Tree Ornaments

Courtesy of A Greener Christmas

Merry Christmas Friends,

With its distinctly warm, aromatic smell, cinnamon spice can instantly create a familiar festive scent in any room. Try finding long, golden-red cinnamon sticks to make these striking natural decorations for your Christmas tree.

Materials Needed:

• 6-8 cinnamon sticks
• 1 recycled elastic band
• length of thin wire, approximately 6" long
• 2 nutmegs with a hole drilled through the center of each (use a clamp and fine-bore drill bit)
• length of recycled natural raffia, about 20" long
• eco-friendly adhesive glue
• 1 star anise
• 1 dried orange slice

Step 1
Secure the cinnamon sticks in a bundle with the elastic band. Thread the wire under the elastic band and secure it tightly in a loop.



Step 2
Thread a nutmeg onto the raffia, down to one end. Tie a knot in the end of the raffia to secure the nutmeg. Repeat at the other end.



Step 3
Wrap the raffia around the cinnamon bundle a couple of times so that the elastic band is completely hidden. Secure in a knot.



Step 4
Glue the star anise onto the front of the orange slice, then glue the orange slice onto the raffia so that it covers the knot.



Perfect aroma for the Holidays...
