Rustic Christmas Ornament with Cinnamon and Orange

Rustic Christmas Ornament with Cinnamon and OrangeIf you love the idea of handmade ornaments that double as natural air fresheners, this project will be a favorite.

Imagine the glow of your Christmas tree lights bouncing off a circle of dried orange while cinnamon sticks radiate outward like sunbeams.

The bay leaves add a touch of earthy green, turning this simple ornament into a tiny holiday wreath with scents that carry memories of winter evenings, spiced tea, and festive gatherings.

Materials Needed

  • 6-8 cinnamon sticks (each about 4 inches long)
  • 1 dried orange slice (2.5-3 inches in diameter)
  • 6-8 dried bay leaves (each about 3-4 inches long)
  • 2 wooden beads (0.75-1 inch in diameter)
  • Jute twine (12-15 inches)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Cut a piece of jute twine about 12 inches long and thread one wooden bead through it.

Then tie a knot at the end so the bead stays in place, leaving a loop for hanging.

Step 2: Lay your cinnamon sticks out in a starburst pattern, overlapping slightly at the center.

Next, you use a small dab of hot glue to secure them together.

Step 3: Once the cinnamon base is secure, tuck the bay leaves between the sticks.

Space them evenly so they look like green rays peeking out. You can also use a little glue on the stem end of each leaf to hold them.

Step 4: Glue the dried orange slice right in the center, covering the joined ends of the cinnamon sticks and leaf stems. Press firmly for a few seconds so it sets.

Step 5: Thread the other bead onto the hanging twine end (optional, for balance), and secure with a knot.

Step 6: Hang your ornament on the tree, where it will spread both beauty and fragrance.

Tip:

If you want the scent to last longer, refresh the cinnamon sticks and orange slice with a drop of clove or orange essential oil before hanging.
