Holidays 9: Crafty
Can you tell I do most of my "crafting" with little kids?
Cinnamon Tree Ornaments
1 cup ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup applesauce
2 tablespoons Tacky or Elmer's white glue
Cookie cutters
Paint, if desired for decorating (fabric paint works great!)
Red, green or white ribbon
Combine first 5 ingredients until stiff dough forms, kneading well with hands. Roll dough out onto cinnamon dusted surface, about 1/4-inch thick, then cut with desired cookie cutter shapes.
Lay ornaments on a sheet of wax paper and cut a small hole in the top (a plastic straw works well), then put in a safe place for drying. Depending on how dry your home is, it can take about 2-4 days for the ornaments to dry completely. Be sure to turn the ornaments over several times a day to ensure even drying.
When ornaments are dry, use fabric paint to decorate if desired (just like you would a cookie), then thread a pretty ribbon through the hole for hanging on Christmas tree, or all throughout the house!
