Making something out of scratch is a haven for children. They like to play and enjoy anything that keeps them on the move. One all time favorite that has gain nationwide popularity is that of making toothpicks with cinnamon flavor. It is easy, affordable and healthy. Kids love it.
The popularity of making it has spread not only throughout the continental U. S. Areas outside the country has known cinnamon toothpicks for quite a while now. The secret is not only because it is easy and can be a good past time for people of all ages. It has its hygienic benefits like providing you fresh breath which is favorable for many.
The first thing you have to do is to collect the things that you will need in performing the process. They are all basic. You can even find them at home. They are a set of toothpicks, a clean, empty vial, a plate, and a cinnamon oil.
After gathering all the materials, proceed by pouring two ounces of the oil in the clean empty jar. Gather the toothpicks and put them inside right after. Then, cover the jar. You have to be very keen in covering the jar. It has to be real tight, preventing any spillovers to happen.
Be mindful of the covering that you use in your jar. It has to be tight enough to prevent the oil from leaking out of the container. Once secured, store it overnight at someplace not directly exposed to sunlight or too much cold. The point of storing it this long is to be certain that the oil has seeped through the toothpicks carefully.
The thing that we want to accomplish here is to have the full scent and cooling effect of the spice be present on the wooden materials. One to two hours of soaking will not do enough. Storing it overnight will ensure that every part of it is covered.
After storing it overnight, it is now time to have it dried. Prepare the clean plate or cutting board. Get the toothpicks from the jar and spread it evenly on the plate. We are already on the last process and the only thing that you need to do here is to wait for it to dry. Do not be hasty though and put the set directly under the sunlight. It will not give you the best result. The general rule is you place it somewhere that has an average room temperature.
It may take several minutes sometimes few hours before all the sticks dry but the wait will definitely be worth it. After drying, you are already good to go. Just pick one and try using it. Store the rest at a clean jar with appropriate covering in order to retain their scent. Once again, do not place the container somewhere in direct heat. The best choice would be somewhere inside your living room. Just make sure you place it somewhere out of heavy traffic.
And there you have it. An easy way to make your own set. Do not limit yourself to simply placing it on a plain vial. You can take a step higher and design their containers as well. Be creative. Your imagination is your limit.
