Just made these with my 8 year old granddaughter. She had a blast and loves the way they smell and look!! She’s anxious for them to dry so she can decorate some of them and have a surprise for her parents for Christmas! I did this with her mother and uncle when they were younger and still have most of them. They still have a nice smell and bring back fond memories of when my kids were her age. 😊

How nice! I need to make some more of these. It’s been years since we made them and they’ve all broken over time. It’ll be nice to have the scent of cinnamon on the tree again this year! 🙂
