These Cinnamon Stick Ribbon Tree Ornaments are so easy to make and so inexpensive too! They’re perfect for making with a large group like Scouts/Brownies or in a classroom.
Of course, they’re also a great Christmas craft for your own family. Gather them around and make these for your own tree or to give as gifts. If you add a name to the star, you can even use these as place cards or gift tags.

Instructions:
Step 1: Paint your wooden star. Allow to dry completely and then paint one more coat.

Step 2: While your stars are drying, cut your ribbons into 9” long pieces. I used 10 ribbons per ornament, but this depends on the length of your cinnamon sticks.

Step 3: Tie each ribbon in a double knot around the cinnamon stick. Once all the ribbons are tied, use a ruler and scissors or rotary cutter to cut the ribbons on a diagonal, cutting them into a tree shape.

Step 5: Cut a length of ribbon or twine to serve as your hanger and attach to the back top of the ornament. Allow to dry before hanging on your tree.
