These ornaments smell wonderful and add a little extra to your tree. You can also use these a gift tags... just paint the To: and From: on the front of the ornament.
Material:
Cinnamon
Apple Sauce
Craft Glue (optional)
Cookie Cutters (cut by hand if you like)
Ribbon
Toothpick
Instruction:
Mix equal amounts of apple sauce and cinnamon and add 1 teaspoon of craft glue for every cup of applesauce. Mix all the ingredients until you have a firm but wet dough. You can add small amounts of cinnamon if your dough is too wet. If you like you can substitute small amounts of cinnamon for a little nutmeg or ground cloves.
Roll out your dough to at least 1/4 inch thickness (less than this will make your ornaments a little weak and they break easily) and cut shapes with cookie cutters. With a toothpick, poke a hole at the top of each ornament that is large enough for a ribbon to be pulled through.
Place these on a cooling rack or tray to dry completely. Depending on how large your ornaments are, drying could take a couple of days. Don't touch your ornaments as they are drying.
Once your ornaments are dry and if there are a few rough edges, you can easily remove the roughness with a little fine sandpaper. Sand your ornaments gently, it doesn't take much to remove the little edges.
Tie a ribbon through the hole and if you like you can paint these ornaments or add a little glitter. Be sure not to cover the entire ornament with paint or the wonderful scent will be lost.
