Happy Sunday + Monday pals!! Man this weekend was BUSY, but in the best way!! We added Christmas goodness to just about every inch of our little cottage with the exception of the front porch..but the barn garage ha. I just couldn't help myself! We also unfortunately lost our very first rescue from 2007 too..she was the best dog.. My mom & dad will surely miss her { she lived with them}. After destroying the house Saturday with everything comfy Christmas I used all Sunday to clean & wash everything! I decided to make some DIY cinnamon stick ornaments + potpourri bundles while in the process & wanted to share!!
DIY ORNAMENTS + POTPOURRI
Supplies:
- Ribbon { your choice} I used leftover pillow cloth ribbon.
- Dollar Tree Cinnamon Sticks
- Tags { optional}
- Ornament hooks { optional}
- Decor to decorate bundles
Assembly:
Simply gather a bunch of sticks & wrap your ribbon around. I typically wrap twice for a thicker cozier look. After that you can just tie a simple bow. Set them around the house or on branches in your Christmas trees etc...
•• If you're making them into ornaments, just add Dollar Tree hooks & stick greenery or berries in the ribbon for a fancier look! SUPER SIMPLE, AFFORDABLE & FESTIVE!
- Total Cost: Under $5 -
When I purchased 4 little bags of these at Dollar Tree I didn't expect them to be that fragrant, but boy was I WRONG! So yummy & fresh & for $1 a bag..You get about 7 sticks per bag.
***Little tip, keep all your cloth ribbon that pillows come gathered in the store..The double packs especially!!
You could add any tags you wanted, I had chalkboard tags laying around! You could do berries, stems, snowflakes etc..
I loved how they looked on our mantel & tree!! I'm waiting on a few things from Etsy then I'll be blogging this years theme in both living rooms & the dining etc..Super simple & delish this year..stumped? Hehe!!
Anyways I hope you looked these two simple DIY's!! Do you love cinnamon? I'm pretty much obsessed!!
