Cinnamon Ornaments

Cinnamon Ornaments can be soo much fun with the little ones :) Here's how to make them!

Ingredients: 

• 4 oz. of cinnamon (cheaper at the dollar store)
• 1.5 tbsp ground cloves
• 1.5 tbsp ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cups apple sauce
• 3-5 tablespoons white glue

Also need:

• rolling pin
• cookie cutters
• string or twine for hanging
• skewer

Steps:

1. Combine all the ingredients. It'll be sticky but keep mixing. You don't want it to be crumby. Once it's at a perfect consistency, then you can take portions at a time to roll out the cinnamon dough.
2. Roll to about 1/4" high, not too thin but not too thick either. Once you roll out the portion you may press the cookie cutter in. Take a skewer to make a hole. Poke through the front(take skewer out), then gently lift and take the skewer to poke the back end too a little.
3. Leave on the pan for three days. You will see the back dry to judge how dry it is and still moist if not ready. By day two I use the t-shirt paint to make the little gingerbread men for my potpourri dish I plan on making. 
4. To get the smell really into the house I add more cloves and nutmeg but the more you add a but more glue to add to the mix.
5. Have fun!
