Directions for the Ice Ornaments

Fill the baking mold to the brim with water.
Put it in the freezer.
Once frozen, remove from mold and place the ice hearts under a fine stream of hot water to make a hole for the yarn.
Place a cinnamon stick right above the hole.
Thread the yarn through the hole from front side and tie a a basic overhand knot to secure the cinnamon stick.
Proudly display your art on your door, porch or windows!
