Hey guys! I have a fun holiday tutorial for you today where I will show you how to create multi-coloured cinnamon stick ornaments. Before we get started I wanted to quickly mention that I have added cinnamon sticks to my shop for the holiday season so you can find them along with all the string you’ll need for this project on my website or my Etsy Shop. If you’re enjoying my tutorials a quick like, comment and subscribe really does help me out! Thanks so much.

For this project you will need 3 colours which will be used to create the inner, middle and outer rows of double half hitch knots. You’ll need 2.5 ft for the inner row (I’m using natural), 3.5 ft for the middle row (I used vintage green and sangria), and 4 ft for the outer row (I used vintage peach and steel grey/blue). Let’s get started.

Cut one piece of natural string that is 1.5 ft long and one piece that is 1 foot long. Fold the the 1.5 ft piece so that there is 5 inches on the left and 13 inches on the right. Attach it to your cinnamon stick using a Lark’s Head knot. Fold the 1 foot piece of string in half and attach it to the right of the previous Lark’s Head knot.

Use the inner left cord as your filler cord and tie 2 double half hitch knots working to the right. Attach the filler cord to the right side of your work using a Lark’s Head knot.

Cut one piece of 3mm string in the colour sangria that is 1.5 ft long. Cut 4 more pieces of the same string, each piece is 6 inches long. Fold the 1.5 ft piece of sangria string so that there is 5 inches on the right side and then attach it to the left side of your work using a Lark’s Head knot. Use the cord on the left as your filler cord and tie one dhhk. Attach the filler cord on the right side of your work using a Lark’s Head knot. Fold the 4 6-inch pieces of string in half and attach them to your filler cord using Cow Hitch knots. Tighten the Lark’s Head knot on the right side of your work.

Cut one piece of 3mm string in the colour steel grey/blue that is 1.5 ft long. Cut 5 more pieces of the same string, each piece is 6 inches long. Repeat the same process as the last row this time adding 5 pieces inside of 4 pieces. Before finishing off this row we will tie one more dhhk on the right side of our work to secure it in place.

Cut the pieces of natural string in the back of your work as I’ve done here. You can glue them to the second row if you’d like to make it a bit more secure but I haven’t found that necessary.

Trim the ends as you see fit, brush them out to create a bit of fringe and then trim once more. Thanks for watching!
