NON-EDIBLE applesauce cinnamon ornaments

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 sticking.)

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.

they sound easy to make and I love the smell of cinnamon

I cant wait to try these! I love that smell and they sound so easy!

You'll love them! I purchased vintage gingerbread men and I had alot of friends asking if I'd make a batch for them. Last year I made over 17 dozen as gifts to my students, friends, family on thier gifts.

yeah now I will need to get some christmas cookie cutters. I don't have any!:my lord::my lord:

I purchased mine on ebay..for about 18.00 for 8 different ones and I took them to a friend of mine who collects antiques and she said 2 of them were close to 70 years old. I was shocked and have used them..life is too short not to enjoy them..lol

What a great old thread this is! Maybe I'll make some of these this year.

I agree Marshmellow. I am curious about them now. I wonder if they are messy (what with all the cinnamon on them) or how long they last? I may trying them this year.

Thank you!! I will be trying this!!
