What is better for Christmas decorations than natural materials? They ensure an authentic and comfortable atmosphere. That's why twigs, pine greens, pine cones or mistletoe are not uncommon when it comes to making Christmas decorations. Dried orange slices are often used for an aromatic decoration. But cinnamon sticks not only exude a pleasant scent, but can also be used perfectly for Christmas crafts with natural materials. We have put together some ideas for you to imitate today. Decorate your home with Christmas crafts made from natural materials and make the Christmas season even more pleasant.
Let's start with a particularly simple idea for which you can use cinnamon sticks. A simple mason jar can be decorated in any way you like. You can use artificial berries or pine greens and other things. The cinnamon sticks are then simply placed in the glass. An easy version for beginner crafters that still makes a great impression.
You've probably seen this type of cinnamon stick decoration for candles before. It is made in different ways: either you stick the cinnamon sticks directly to the candle or you simply tie them up. A lantern can also be designed from the outside in this way. For this idea, you can also paint the cinnamon sticks beforehand.
Stars are one of those motifs that should not be missing during the Christmas season. And these are really quick to make from cinnamon sticks. To do this you will need five cinnamon sticks of equal length. You choose the length yourself. Glue them together as shown above and decorate with a little glitter.
You can even make a house out of cinnamon sticks. With this idea you can put together an arrangement on a plate or under a glass dome and use it to design chests of drawers, side tables or the dining table. Use longer cinnamon sticks to make a larger cottage.
First make the individual elements. These are the four walls of the house, one of the four walls should have a hole that represents the door. Added to this is the roof. Glue the individual cinnamon sticks together to form these elements using a hot glue gun. Once the glue has dried, assemble the house and let everything dry thoroughly.
You are welcome to combine the cinnamon sticks with other natural materials. A veryinteresting decorationis this garland for which the cinnamon sticks are decorated with bows and orange slices. For crafting you will then need string onto which you can thread the cinnamon sticks.
TheCrafting with natural materials in winteris a great idea. On the one hand, the weather is usually too bad for outdoor activities and on the other hand, you can use it to create a Christmas atmosphere. You can use this pendant idea to decorate the Christmas tree. So start early!
This idea may be a bit confusing at first glance. But once you get the hang of it, you'll quickly want to make several of these pendants. In the instructions you can see the individual steps with which the cinnamon sticks are tied together. This means you can use a whole piece of cord and avoid the hassle of cutting and knotting smaller pieces.
If you don't want to wait until the Christmas tree is put up to hang up this decoration, then use the idea for Advent or the entire Advent season. You can decorate walls or windows with the cinnamon sticks or make your houseplants pretty.
You probably also want the festive table to be beautifully decorated on Christmas Eve. You can show off napkins particularly well with a homemade napkin ring. Why not try out this idea? A cinnamon stick is combined with pine greens and tied to the napkin with twine. A quick but impressive decoration, isn't it?
Create colorful Christmas tree decorations in the shape of Christmas trees. For this idea, in addition to cinnamon sticks, you will also need ribbons in any color, preferably Christmassy, and a piece of string or yarn for hanging. The ribbons are tied to the cinnamon stick at even intervals, becoming shorter and shorter towards the top.
These Christmas trees for setting up are also a great option. The cinnamon stick is stuck into a piece of wood and then simply decorated with pipe cleaners. The result is a decoration that imitates a decorated Christmas tree and is also great as a gift.
This star also consists of cinnamon sticks with cloves. Use two long and two shorter poles, glued together in a cross pattern. Decorate the long ends with white and red yarn, then add some cloves. You are also welcome to use other decorative elements.
If you want to decorate a wall, choose this idea. Take a canvas and thinly paint a star with a pencil. This will then serve as a template for you. Place cinnamon sticks inside the star and trim where necessary. Once you have filled out the entire star, you can gradually glue the cinnamon sticks in place using a hot glue gun.
In addition to cinnamon sticks, some cloves are also used for this Christmas decoration. They give the attractive wreath additional texture and imitate flowers. Simply glue the poles on top of each other. The wreath looks completely rustic, as if it were made entirely of wood. Place a candle in the middle or combine with a Christmas flower vase.
As a basis you need any ring that you can cover with linen fabric. Then first glue the long cinnamon sticks in place. The larger gaps that are created are then simply covered with another row of shorter cinnamon sticks. You can decorate the front door with this idea.
Get a wooden ring. An embroidery frame is wonderful for this purpose. The Christmas trees are made from any material. Do not sew the hole that you use to fill the treetops with filling material, but use it to insert the cinnamon sticks. Hang the trees on the ring and hang it in the room or on the window.
You can make such a poinsettia by using a Styrofoam ball of any size. You will then need many cinnamon sticks of approximately the same size, which are simply glued to the ball. The poles should be as close together as possible so that the ball can be seen as little as possible.
The packaging of gifts for Christmas should make a good impression. Of course, all you can do is use pretty wrapping paper. But with homemade decorations, your packaging will immediately stand out. Simply combine string or pretty ribbons with a bunch of cinnamon sticks and your gifts will radiate Christmas spirit. This idea is also very simple.
