Cinnamon Baskets

I finally found my camera! So here is a picture of the cinnamon basket. These baskets are really cute and will help to fill a room with the fragrance of Christmas. It's another craft for children to make or for an adult to make and give as a gift.

For one basket, you will need:

3 1/2" X 2" food can
Founder's Adhesive glue
35 (4") cinnamon sticks
1 yard (1"-wide) grosgrain ribbon
Individually wrapped candies

1. Remove the top and the label from the can (DUH!) Wash the can and let it dry.

2. Apply the glue to the outside of the can, covering the sides completely.

3. Place 1 cinnamon stick on the side of the can, making sure the bottom of the stick is even with the bottom of the can. Continue gluing the sticks in place, one at a time until the sides are covered.

4. To decorate, tie the ribbon around the sticks and into a bow. Trim the ribbon ends at an angle. Fill the basket with candy.

This would be cute with the a Christmas colored or decorated saran wrap and homemade gift tag.
