Joanna's Christmas Votive

Quick! Christmas is approaching fast! Here's the speedy how-to for Joanna's Christmas votive. You need a 3-inch diameter glass, about 20-24 cinnamon sticks, wired ribbon, a piece of 24-gauge wire, hot glue, and a Christmas greenery pick.
Step 1: Get sick during the Lake House Craft Weekend. We missed you Joanna but thanks for our craft goodie bag.

Step 2: Use the hot glue to attach the cinnamon sticks to the glass.


Step 3: Not required but I did it anyway. I placed a piece of 24-gauge wire around the cinnamon sticks to help hold them on. I wasn't convinced that the hot glue would stick on the glass forever and ever. I'm not sure if this is an official Boy Scout wire knot but I twisted it all around to make sure it would hold. I don't think I have ever seen a Wire Knot merit badge or even a Cinnamon Votive merit badge so I think I am safe from Boy Scout ridicule.

Step 4: Add the wired ribbon and an evergreen floral pick.
Step 5: Drop in a tea light and enjoy! Thanks Joanna!
