Arrange the five cinnamon sticks into a star shape, overlapping the ends where each stick meets.
Use small dots of hot glue at the intersections to hold the shape together. Let it dry for a few minutes before moving to the next step.
Once secure, wrap jute twine tightly around the center and intersections of the star to reinforce and add that rustic charm. Tie off neatly at the back.
Cut a small loop of twine and glue or tie it to the top point of the star for hanging.
Add optional details like a tiny bow, star anise, or a small wooden bead for extra flair.
