Wonderful Cinnamon Scented Ornaments

Who doesn't love a house filled with the aroma of cinnamon and gingerbread? Mmm..

Jake and I created some wonderful cinnamon scented ornaments that were super easy, and made the house smell amazing.

What you'll need:

1 cup of ground cinnamon

1 tbsp of ground cloves

1 tbsp of nutmeg

3/4 cup of applesauce

2 tbsp of white glue

Stir together the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Then mix the applesauce and glue.

Work the mixture with your hands to form a ball. If the mixture is too wet, add more cinnamon. If the mixture is too dry, add more applesauce.

Use additional cinnamon like flour and dust your surface and roller with it to prevent sticking.

Roll out to a 1/4 inch thickness.

Use your super hero muscles to cut shapes with cookie cutters. Looks hard doesn't it?

Place a hole at the top of each shape so a ribbon can be added to hang the ornament later. We used a straw, but you could use a toothpick, etc. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees F for 2 hours.. or if you don't want to involve the oven, you can let these babies sit out for 4 to 5 days.. I am impatient however and chose the latter.

The shapes were still pretty fragile after I removed them from the oven, so I let them sit for about 20 minutes.

Then we decorated them with metallic markers and ribbon.

And voila! Our finished ornaments. Super easy and our house smells sooo good too!
