A friend recently told me about this simple project (she's making them for her own Thanksgiving table) and I had to share! If you're like me, and have candles added to everything for ambiance, then you'll love these simple cinnamon stick votive candle holders. All you need to make them are a bunch of cinnamon sticks, clear glass votive holders, rubber bands and raffia (twine or ribbon will work, too).
Start by putting a rubber band around your first glass votive holder. This is going to hold your cinnamon sticks together around the glass holder as you go. One by one, go around the votive holder with cinnamon sticks (putting them under said rubber band). Once you're all the way around, wrap around the whole holder with your raffia. Wrap to whatever thickness you like and then tie it up with a bow.
These candle holders will add a rustic appeal to your table, while also acting as a wonderful air freshener.
