Buying Guide

Choose Ceylon vs. Cassia by scent and safety

Ceylon cinnamon has a milder, sweeter aroma and lower coumarin than Cassia, making it preferable for prolonged indoor displays; Cassia (Saigon) is stronger and may be better when you need a bold scent

Prefer whole sticks for sculptural projects

Whole cinnamon sticks retain shape for wreaths, garlands, and potpourri; look at stick length and thickness to match the visual scale of your craft

Buy bulk quantities for multiple projects

Bulk jars and 1 lb packages give better per-unit value when making many items — ideal if you reuse sticks across seasons or for recurring classes

Check organic certification for indoor use

Organic-labeled sticks reduce concerns about pesticide residues in crafts intended for close contact or indoor scenting and are clearly identified on product labels

Consider stick size and uniformity

Uniform 2.5–3" sticks are easier to plan with and assemble into repeating patterns, while mixed sizes offer a more rustic look but require sorting

Assess packaging for storage and freshness

Resealable jars or bulk bags help preserve aroma and keep sticks dry for long-term craft storage and reuse
