Cinnamon Candle Gifts

11:11 on 11-11! How neat is that? I always make a wish @ 11:11... I mean when I see it on the clock.

Back in 2011, I started doing my own homemade Thanksgiving goodie bags and Christmas gifts. The very first DIY I took pictures of to share with other [but never did] were these Cinnamon Candle Gifts. They were a freaking hit! I gave some away for Thanksgiving and some more during Christmas.

Not only are these Cinnamon Candle Gifts adorable to decorate the house with, they are made using Glade candles which have a great scent throw. I chose to use pumpkin spice fragrance but you can also use fresh balsam fir or pine (if you are making these for Christmas). For an extra added touch, I like to wrap them up in cellophane paper as if it were a small basket. This makes for easy travel or transport as well as a beautiful finish.

• You can use any button(s) you'd like. We used recycled buttons that we have collected over the years.
