![]() When fall weather hits, I go into "nesting" mode. I like to fill the apartment with cozy blankets and pillows, bake cookies, and light yummy-scented candles. I recently spent a Saturday morning crafting and made these rustic, deliciously scented candles wrapped in cinnamon sticks. It was so simple - and I love the way they look in the apartment! These would be great holiday gifts, or just a fun project to make for your own home! Check out the simple instructions below! ![]() SUPPLIES YOU'LL NEED: -short pillar candles (I used vanilla scented and freshly baked cookie scented) -cinnamon sticks (each candle needs about 20-25 sticks) -natural colored rubber bands -twine -a candle base (I used a small, flat, circular metal tray placed on top of a wedge of birchwood) -a gift tag, stamp and stamp pad (Optional: only if being given as a gift) Instructions:![]() 1) Place a rubber band around the center of the candle. Gently tuck cinnamon sticks under the rubber band, so that they encircle the candle. (I gently pushed the cinnamon sticks together as I went, to get rid of any gaps) ![]() 2) Wrap twine around the center of the cinnamon sticks and the candle, continuing until you can no longer see the rubber band. ![]() 3) Tie twine into a bow to secure. If you are giving the candle as a gift, attach your stamped gift tag now. ![]() 4) Place candle on its base and voila!! : ) Enjoy your cinnamon stick candle.
