Cinnamon Ornaments

I’ve been working on some projects for a Christmas Open House I participated in this year.

A friend of mine and her family, plan, organize, and make a ton a crafts for this special event and they asked me to add to the crafts this year.  It was so much fun and a great success.

One of the crafts I made for this event was some simple cinnamon ornaments.  They were extremely fragrant and turned our really cute.

I found this great, simple recipe HERE on Pinterest.  It called for applesauce, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and white glue.

After mixing it together, I divided it into four portions and then rolled them out, about 1/4 inch thick.

Using your favorite cookie cutters, cut out your ornaments and lay them on parchment paper to dry.

Using a toothpick, make a hole that is big enough to thread your hanging string into.  I didn’t make the hole in several of my ornaments big enough and so a few broke while I was threading my string into them.

Let them dry completely, for about 2-3 days.  I flipped mine twice a day until they dried and hardened.

That’s all there is to it… Cute, festive, and fragrant!  They would make a great little teacher gift, ornament for your tree, or an accessory to your gift wrap.

Give ’em a try, I think you’ll like them!
