This TRFamily loves the holidays. And we greatly enjoy spreading the holiday spirit with handmade gifts to our friends and family. There is something special about the love and effort that goes into handmade gifts. And our children take great pride in creating gifts for the special folks that impact their lives.
Last Christmas, we made fantastic salt dough ornaments. But even though that was fun and successful, we wanted to do something different this holiday season. We decided to make cinnamon ornaments!
Recipe:
- 1 cup of cinnamon
- 1/4 cup of applesauce
- 1/2 cup of glue
Tip: Your batch will yield about 15 ornaments
Combine the cinnamon and applesauce, mixing until clumpy. Then pour in the glue and continue mixing. Dough will be incredibly sticky. We found it necessary to mix by hand and add liberal amounts of flour until we could roll out our ornament dough. Add decorations if you’d like. Punch out a hole in the ornament with a plastic straw and then bake at 200F for 1 hour. Let cool for at least 3 hours.
Bonus – You’re entire house will smell like cinnamon!
