Zero Calorie Cinnamon Rolls

These adorable Zero Calorie Cinnamon Rolls are a great way to use up felt scraps.  Turn them into jewelry, ornaments, or make a cute garland to go around your Christmas tree.  This project is easy enough to do with kids, too...so the whole family can get in on the fun!  Best of all, these cinnamon rolls are calorie-free, and you can make as many as you want without having any clean up!

Materials:

• 2 8×11 felt sheets, one light brown and one dark brown
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions:

1. Start off by cutting your felt in half hamburger wise.
   
   
    
2. Then cut those halves in half again, so you have 4 smaller squares (8 squares total with both sheets of felt).
   
   
    
3. Fold those squares in half again so you have 8 smaller squares (16 squares total with both sheets of felt).
   
   
    
4. Fold those squares in half, this time hot dog wise, to yield 16 long pieces (32 total with both sheets of felt).
    
5. Fold those squares in half hot dog wise one final time, to yield 32 strips that are about 1/2″ wide (64 strips total with both sheets of felt).
   
   
    
6. You’re going to be using 4 strips per cinnamon roll, two of each color. Layer three pieces together, starting with a light brown, then dark brown, then light brown again.
   
   
    
7. Begin rolling the strips to form a cinnamon roll shape.
   
   
    
8. Take the last dark strip and wrap it around the cinnamon roll to hide the ends. Hot glue in place.
    
9. With your thumb, carefully push up on the center of the cinnamon roll to make it look like it has risen in the oven. A little pop is all you need!
   
   
   
   
    
10. Repeat until all your cinnamon rolls are done.  This “recipe” yields 16 calorie-free cinnamon rolls!
