Spice Rope

9 strands bulky yarn 52" long
17 strands knitting worsted yarn 52" long
4 circles of 6" wide assorted calico, pinked
1 metal ring 1 1/2" wide
3 cinnamon sticks
mixed spices or potpourri

1. Fold the yarn in half over the ring. Divide equally in three and braid tightly, leaving 4" for tassel. Tie with matching yarn.

2. Put about a tablespoon of spices or potpourri on calico circles. Pull ends up and tie securely with a 6" strand of matching yarn. Flatten out making little "hats" with dangling ribbons.

3. Sew hats on braid leaving room between to tie or insert cinnamon sticks.

4. Tie or insert cinnamon sticks in the spaces between the bundles.

Should the bundles lose their scent after a time, add a drop of clove or cinnamon oil to the back of each
