Vinegar works as a wood stain when you add a metal object in the mix and let it sit in a glass container for a week.  A handful of pennies will produce a beautiful pale Caribbean blue stain.  A wad of steel wool will give you a rich reddish hue.  A combination of tea and a metal object in vinegar will produce a black stain.

Cinnamon stick wreath--put it on a recycled cardboard base if it's against a wall or door, and back it with cinnamon sticks, as well, if it's a window. How fun would this smell?!?

upcycled denim placemat sewn from a pair of kid's jeans on top and fabric from an adult's jeans, or any other sturdy fabric, on bottom: the back pockets on kids' jeans are more likely to be a good size to hold cutlery and a cloth napkin

Make your own 50-hour candles: soy wax, candle wicking, and old Mason jars. For scent, I may research adding essential oils to the melted soy wax. For color, add a bit of soy crayon to the melted soy wax.
