Cinnamon Stick Bowl Fillers

If you're looking for some really easy but oh-so-prim primitive bowl fillers to make, then I think you'll really like these: my Cinnamon Stick Bowl Fillers.

I am always trying to think of ways to use supplies I always have on hand to make new primitive projects with, and that's how these little gems came about. All you need to make them are cinnamon sticks, pip berry stems, any homespun fabric that you like, and some rusty tin accents (I used rusty stars).

To make them, just gather 3 long cinnamon sticks (approximately 6" each) and tie them together with the homespun. Then tuck in some pip berry stems here and there on either side of where you tied your homespun. Then top them off with your rusty star or whatever rusty tin accent you've chosen by hot gluing it into place in the center of the homespun. 

You could make a whole bunch of these to put in a bowl as bowl fillers. Add coordinating colors of homespun and pip berries, or just go crazy and use whatever colors you like. Add in some dough ornies or rosehips for some extra fun. But these can be more than just bowl fillers too. Wouldn't they be cute on top of a gift package? You could also add them to the top of a napkin ring as decorative prim accent, or even just lay them around your dinner table for an extra prim touch at your next dinner party.

Sometimes the simplest things can be the most fun to make...and to share with prim friends.
