Make a kitchen hanging

Make a kitchen hanging
We have also designed a wonderful hanging for your kitchen using small versions of the above sachet, filled with Orange spice pot-pourii and tied onto a hanging with bundles of cinnamon.

Step 1
Choose a ribbon, ideally 39mm wide. We have used a offray Gingham ribbon pattern 6445.

Step 2
Make two bows in this ribbon, one using 82cm, the second using 50cm.

Step 3
Cut a length of appox. 80cm. Fold the top 5cm over backwards to create a loop. Sew the two bows to the top, with the smaller on top of the large.

Step 4
Cut three squares appox. 13cm square in a fabric which co-ordinates with you ribbon. Use these to make small sachets of Orange Spice pot-pourii. Do not tie the ribbon bow over the rubber band just yet!

Step 5
Make three bundles of cinnamon sticks (we used three sticks each) and fasten with a rubber band.

Step 6
Lay the sachets and cinnamon bundles how to space them. Sew six thread loops onto the hanging, One behind each item.

Step 7
Cut six 36cm lengths of narrower ribbon (we used 23mm) to bow the sachets and bundles. Pull these through the tread loops before tying round the bundles and sachets. (You could just glue them but would then be unable to ever use the cinnamon for cooking!).

Step 8
Tie 25cm piece of the narrower ribbon through the loop at the top – now you can hang it up.
