Fun Friday: Cinnamon Stick Votive Holder

I love the smell of fall! It's pumpkins, caramel & cinnamon all rolled into one. So even though I'm a huge stickler for holiday decorations (you won't find any scarecrows at my house until November), I always have to make this Cinnamon Stick Votive Holder as soon as the season starts. 


As long as you have a few supplies, you can make this is less than 5 minutes. And that's including the amount of time it takes for your hot glue gun to heat up.


•glass votive holder with smooth sides (mine happens to be from a Glade candle)
•raffia paper (to make it easier to glue the cinnamon sticks on)
•cinnamon sticks
•twine or other kind of ribbon (optional, but it gives the votive holder a nice touch)

-Start by unrolling your raffia paper & cutting it to fit the size of your votive holder. Then glue it down with a line of hot glue. 
-Next, glue the cinnamon sticks in place on top of the raffia paper. 
-If you'd like, you can tie a bit of twine or ribbon around it all & secure it in place with a dot of hot glue.

  5. Such a simple idea that looks so beautiful. I love easy crafts as they are the only ones I can do. I have to test the cinnamon to make sure it is not something my dogs would go after to eat though, other wise they jump up to the counter to get things and I do not want them pulling my candles down. Obedience school is soon - yeah!
