Day 24- Cinnamon Ornaments Recipe

CINNAMON ORNAMENTS

Ingredients:

1 c. ground cinnamon

1 T. cloves

1 T. nutmeg

3/4 c. applesauce

2 T. white glue

Directions:

1. Combine cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.  Add applesauce and glue, stirring to combine.  Work mixture with hands for 2-3 minutes.  If your mixture is too dry, add an extra teaspoon of glue and a tablespoon of applesauce.  If it is too wet, sprinkle cinnamon and mix in until it is easily workable.

2.  Divide mixture into four parts.  Roll each to 1/4" thickness.  Sometimes it is helpful to roll them out between two sheets of wax paper.  Cut out desired shapes.  Use a straw to create a hole at the top for the ribbon.  Place on a wire wrack and allow to dry at room temperature for about two days.  Turn over after the first day.

3.  Tie with ribbon to hang on the tree.  You can decorate your ornaments with craft paint or even glitter if you would like.  After awhile, the ornaments start to lose their scent, so you can add a drop or two of cinnamon oil to them when that happens.
