Cinnamon Ornaments

Check out these cute little decorations. It is a perfect way to spend an afternoon with your little crafters, not to mention the way it will cinnamon-scent your home! Here are the quick and easy directions:
 **Warning it can get messy, but so much fun!

What you need:

1/2 c. cinnamon

1/2 c. applesauce

~1 T. glue

 Bowl

Straw

In a mixing bowl combine the three ingredients, use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix. If the mix is feels too wet add some cinnamon, if it is too dry add some applesauce. We found a 1:1 ratio to work well of ours.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly cinnamon dusted surface and roll to about an 1/8" thickness. Use desired cookie cutter shapes to cut out the dough. With a straw cut a small hole out of the top for hanging.

Place cut outs on wax paper or a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Can be left to air dry for two or three days or bake in a 200 degree oven for about an hour.

Once dry, add the string, and a little paint if desired, but they are also plenty cute all on their own.

**As an alternative you could add a little glitter to the dough to give your ornaments a little sparkle.

But, most of all have fun and create some memories together!!
