Cinnamon Christmas Ornaments
Two recipes, both simple, for making these neat ornaments that can
also be used as package toppers. If making ahead, I would put each
one in it's own plastic bag and store in a cool dry place.
4 ounces of ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup of applesauce
2 tablespoons of white craft glue
These are not edible because of the glue. Mix together well, roll
out and cut your shapes. Poke a hole at the top of each one for
hanging before they dry. Put them on a wire rack for about a week
and let them dry, turning them over about once a day.
Cinnamon Ornaments
3/4 cup applesauce
1 4.12 ounce bottle ground cinnamon
Mix together to form a stiff dough. Roll dough to 1/4 inch
thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Make hole at top of ornaments on
rack to dry. Let dry 1-2 days or until thoroughly dry, turning
occasionally. Hang with decorative thread, ribbon or natural raffia.
Makes 12-15 ornaments.
