How to Make Rustic Christmas Ornaments with Dried Oranges and Cinnamon SticksImagine your Christmas tree decorated with these rustic ornaments with sunny slices of dried orange, paired with spicy cinnamon and dotted with red berries.

They look simple, but each one carries the charm of handmade traditions.

Specially, they don’t just decorate; they add a subtle fragrance that makes the room feel cozier.

Whether you keep them for yourself or share them as thoughtful handmade gifts, these ornaments are a lovely way to honor nature in your holiday décor.

Materials Needed

  • 6-8 dried orange slices (approx. 2.5-3 inches each)
  • 6-8 cinnamon sticks (3-4 inches long)
  • 6-8 small faux berry sprigs or red beads
  • 6-8 small evergreen sprigs (real or faux)
  • Natural jute twine or rustic string (10-12 inches per ornament)
  • Wooden beads (optional)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut pieces of twine about 10-12 inches long. Then thread a wooden bead onto the twine, then tie the ends together to create a loop for hanging.

Step 2: Place a cinnamon stick horizontally and secure the twine loop around it with a tight knot. You can add a dab of hot glue to keep it in place.

Step 3: Glue a dried orange slice directly below the cinnamon stick, letting it hang like a pendant.

Step 4: Attach a small evergreen sprig and a few faux berries to the top of the orange slice with hot glue for a festive accent.

Step 5: Repeat for the remaining slices, creating a matching set of ornaments.

Step 6: Hang them on your tree, along a garland, or even on cupboard handles for a cozy, rustic touch.

Tips:

For extra fragrance, tuck a whole clove or star anise into the orange slice before gluing. It gives each ornament a spiced aroma that enhances the holiday mood.
