Steps In Making Cinnamon Toothpicks

By Christa Jarvis


If you try to backtrack a little and recall some of your elementary years, you will most likely remember one time when you had a great time making flavored toothpicks. Some kids do it just for fun. Others do it for a school project or assignment.

It has become popular over the years not only because of its wide usage. Cinnamon toothpicks also have their sort of therapeutic effects upon usage. Aside from its common function of removing food particles stuck on teeth, it has also been popular for giving you fresh breath.

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.

Just be sure to have all of the materials ready before you proceed. The last thing you would want is to stand up from time to time to get what you need while in the middle of performing the process. Start by getting the cinnamon oil and placing two ounces of it on the empty jar. Get the toothpicks and place them in as well. After that, cover the jar tightly.

You have to make sure that the vial is covered fully. We do not want any unnecessary exposure later on. After securing the container, leave it overnight. Storing it for several hours will ensure that the oil is absorbed by the material.

The point of leaving the materials overnight is for the toothpicks to completely absorb the oil. This means that the whole set should be bathed in the oil for you to experience its full benefit after. Also, it is important to note that the vial should be put at an area away from too much sunlight. The normal room temperature will be the ideal location where you have to place it.

After this, you may already get the toothpicks out of the container. Get a clean plate and spread the materials apart. You may use other alternatives than plate such as a clean cutting board. One thing you need to keep in mind is not to expose the set in direct sunlight. While it can potentially speed up the drying process, it is generally not recommended. Allow the materials to dry on its own pace at a neutral room temperature.

Once they are all dried, you may now go ahead and use them. Make sure to store the rest of them at a clean airtight vial in order to preserve the cinnamon scent. Also, do not throw away the cinnamon oil that you used on the process. It can be preserved and be used in making another set next time. Make sure to place it in the same airtight container and keep it in a cool, safe place away from the reach of children.

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.
