Scrap fabric pieces (various colors and patterns)
Scissors
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Cinnamon sticks (approx. 4 inches long)
Twine or ribbon
Optional: embellishments like buttons, beads, or small bells

Cut your scrap fabric into strips, approximately 1 inch wide and 6 inches long. You will need about 6-8 strips per ornament, depending on the thickness of your fabric.

Take one cinnamon stick and tie a knot with a strip of fabric around the stick, positioning it in the middle. Pull tightly to ensure it stays in place.

Continue tying the fabric strips around the cinnamon stick, alternating colors and patterns for a vibrant and eclectic look. Push the strips close together as you go to cover the stick completely.

Once all the fabric strips are tied, trim the ends to create a tree shape. The top strips should be shorter, gradually getting longer towards the bottom to mimic the look of a tree.

If desired, use the hot glue gun to add small embellishments to the fabric, such as buttons or beads, for extra decoration.

Cut a piece of twine or ribbon (about 6 inches long) and form a loop. Hot glue or tie the ends to the top of the cinnamon stick to create a hanging loop.

Allow the glue to dry completely before hanging your ornament on the tree.

Experiment with different types of fabric, such as burlap for a more rustic look or satin for a touch of elegance. You can also dye the fabric strips in different colors to match your holiday theme. Instead of cinnamon sticks, try using small twigs or pine branches for a different natural element. Additionally, consider adding essential oils to the tree for an extra festive fragrance, like pine or clove, to complement the cinnamon scent. Personalize the ornaments further with family members' initials or small photos for a make it a heirloom keepsake.
