1. Using a high-temp glue gun, put a small dab of glue on a cinnamon stick and place on the candle. Hot-glue all cinnamon sticks to the candle. They will vary in height and width. Depending on your cinnamon sticks and the candle’s diameter, you may need a second bundle.
2. Cut a strip of burlap 1.5 inches wide and 18′ inches long (adjust as needed), and hot-glue the burlap so it holds the cinnamon sticks together tightly.
3. Have fun embellishing your candle with faux berries, a jute twine bow or other desired décor.
