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!
What a great idea, I made something like these a couple of years ago, might do it again. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
The link for the recipe on Pinterest doesn’t work (on this site and on your Pinterest). Is it possible for you to just post the ingredients/amounts needed to make the ornaments by any chance? Thanks!
Here is the link to the website I got the recipe from.

Not sure why the link wasn’t working…it seems to be working now. Thanks for the heads-up though!
