Small forests of cinnamon sticks give pillar candles a warm, rustic look and impart a holiday fragrance. Three candles in graduated sizes make a lovely set.
Look for 8-and 16-inch cinnamon sticks at floral-supply stores.

Cinnamon Candle How-To
1. Measure candle height; cut cinnamon sticks to size with floral shears. You'll need about 20 lengths per candle.
2. Run hot glue along cinnamon stick; affix it vertically to side of candle. (Use low-temperature setting to minimize melting.)
3. When first stick is dry, glue next stick snugly against it; repeat to cover candle.
4. Place finished candle on a dish or coaster.
