Materials

  • 20-25 cinnamon sticks (cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 40-50 red wooden beads (½ inch diameter)
  • Strong jute twine or craft wire (about 8 feet)
  • Scissors
  • Needle or small skewer (for threading holes if needed)

Instructions

  • Cut the cinnamon sticks into smaller sections if they aren’t pre-cut. Make sure each piece has a small hollow center for threading.
  • Measure and cut a length of twine or wire long enough for your garland, leaving extra on both ends for tying.
  • Start threading alternating pieces of cinnamon stick and red beads onto the twine. Adjust the pattern to your liking, for example, two beads followed by one cinnamon stick.
  • Push each piece snugly together, but don’t tighten too much; a little space helps the garland hang more naturally.
  • Once all pieces are strung, tie knots at both ends to secure them. You can add a bow or small greenery sprig for a festive finish.
  • Drape it across your Christmas tree, fireplace mantel, or stair rail to spread the sweet cinnamon aroma throughout your home.
