I make these every 2 yrs to hang on garland, gifts, the tree and the smell lasts forever. What holds them together is a 1tsp of elmers glue..
***They are NON EDIBLE! But the glue isn't dangerous so if any lil ones take a bite out of curiousity. no worries!



1/4 cup applesauce 1/4 cup cinnamon 1 Tsp. white glue

Pour all ingredients in a plastic zip bag.

seal the bag and knead until a dough is formed
(if dough is too wet and sticky add a little more cinnamon)

. Roll dough out on a cutting board or counter sprinkled with cinnamon (to prevent stiching.

Cut shapes with cookie cutters and make hanging holes using a drinking straw.

Let ornaments air dry a few days in a warm dry area,

It's important to be sure that you flip them over a few times each day to ensure they lay flat.
. When dry, string with ribbon and hang.

You can also decorate with glitter glue and paint.

We did it once, but I thought it took too much time. I guess you have to really like what you're doing or be very good at it.
