Where Supplies were Purchased Before you can begin to create the centerpiece you have to buy supplies.One all time favorite is Michaels arts and crafts store.The other favorite is Dollar Tree where everything you purchase is $1.00Once the supplies are purchased get ready to let the creativity flow.

Dont rush through weaving because you will want the pieces to be secure.Only add glue where you think its necessary.When using a basket it allows you to easily make changes if needed because you wont need much glue if any.

The finish productPlace your centerpiece on a coffee table, Dining room table or TV stand.Put it anyplace you heart desires.It will not only be beautiful but the scent of cinnamon will fill the air.You
