I have been interested in cinnamon sticks and Santas painted on look kind of neat.

Hi Linda~

That looks easy enough and I have a whole bag of Cinnamon Sticks just waiting to be used.

I like the Cookie Cutter ones too. I have cookie cutters on my list to get this weekend when I go shopping.

Looks like you're going to keep me busy!

Thanks for Sharing...Hugs~ Joann

Hi Gals,
The other day I used three different size Gingerbread cookie Cutters and wrapped each of them with Jute, put a piece of primitive material for the scarfs, they turned out cute for a friend that enjoys Gingerbread items.
I have also been making her $ tree plastic candy canes 6 per Pkg. wrapping them with Jute or some I wrapped with Primitive material.
I love those Cinnamon cookie cutter decorations, seems like a little work but may try them again this year! I think it is a good idea to make them a little thicker to keep from breaking!
Happy Crafting!
Darlene

Hi Darlene~

I want to use the Christmas Cookie Cutters and wrap with yarn and some "greenery etc." plain no cinnamon dough.. my daughter has a cute Christmas Tree she uses in the kitchen and I have always wanted to add this for her "Kitchen 6 foot Christmas Tree." I think there's always room for more..LOL!

This was on my "To Do List" for after Christas last year, but no Cookie Cutters to be found...that's why I'm going to get them now and have them done for Christmas 2014.

Take Care and Hugs~ Joann

You guys have some good ideas. Darlene how or where do you get primitive material. I know you can tea or coffee stain it, but would be nice to buy it already done. Joann your daughter must sure be lucky to have a kitchen big enough for a tree that size. Sure wish mine was big.

Hi Linda~

Sherry has a kitchen that looks like it should be in a magazine. A few years ago they added on to their colonial style house and enlarged the kitchen area. She loves to cook and this kitchen was designed by her...just beautiful. I could go on and on..the kitchen has a french door leading out to a deck that extends the whole back of house and off one side of deck has a bridge overlooking a Fish Pond her husband designed. The back yard has a Grilling Area her husband John put in with a built in refrigerator and sink too..this area has a stone wall built around it with counter tops and he's got it all set up...he love's to cook too. Just a little way from the Fish Pond is this beautiful Gazebo that John built...we spend many Summer Evenings enjoying the view from the Gazebo. Sherry and John have it all landscaped with beautiful flowers and shrubs.

I have a small kitchen..but it suits me just fine LOL!

Hugs~Joann

It's nice and we all live within 3 streets of each other

Linda,
I do not use the Tea dyed material, what I refer to as Primitive is the small check print, green check with beige or Burgundy with beige small check print fabric, from Michales or Joann.Our Julie here at CEF made YOYO mats with the small prints with her Craft Shows, I loved a green one that she gave me,and I was hooked and seeing all of the YoYo projects on the web.I have made yoyo magnets and also use it as a tie on items that I make mixing a thin strip of the two colors tied on such items as primitive candles that I have made, mason jars, looked on a site and made grungy candles using coffee grounds cinnamon etc. last year receipe is on the web if you go to Primitive sites. I tied bundles of cinnamon sticks with it with a berry pip stem,I enjoy the pip berry candle rings,stems etc. and Primitive stars, We have 5 primitive stores in 1 to 2 hour drive from me,three different towns that I have managed to find, not many in my area. Hope this makes sense to you!
Darlene

Thank you both for the quick response. Joann I tell you Sherry is one lucky girl. I do grill out in the winter but no refrigerator out there as it would freeze. Sure would love to have a big kitchen. Mines not tiny but a big tree absolutely will not fit.
Darlene I will be headed to Lincoln this weekend or next week so will make a stop at Joanns. I love that store. They have redone it and it is huge. I don't think Walmart has that material but will look. I have one of those here. Would be neat to have some of the material. I use twine a lot.
Thanks again.
Linda
