Cinnamon Bundles

Oh yes... an old favourite of mine... copper wire unraveled from a pot scrubber. I love using this wire. It is not only cost effective but also looks unusual in designs because it is a flat wire. It adds something really special. Book readers turn to page 37 to see more. For more information about my book: The Effortless Floral Craftsman


Unravel wire from a copper pot scrubber. It matches the cinnamon so perfectly!

Pull the wires three at a time to create a bulky binding.

Wind the copper wire around a small bundle of cinnamon sticks.

And twist the ends together to secure.

For my design I added a generous amount of wire to both ends of the sticks.

Scatter the cinnamon bundles around in the wreath design... don't be too precise for this design I wanted it to look a bit un-designed.

I have a bit more information about the "messiness" that I want to achieve in this design in our email this week. I would love to hear what you think! You are welcome to reply to the email if you have a question or comment or say hi. If you are not yet signed up, I send out one email every Wednesday morning (Vancouver time) to let you know when the new design is ready for you to view. Each week I also discuss one newsletter exclusive tip of something that I think would help you make the most of whatever I am showing you this week. The sign up is below this post.
