Get Crafty ~ Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments

While the weather outside is a little frightful you may need some indoor activities for the family. A great one for this time of year making cinnamon applesauce ornaments.

Cinnamon ornaments are an easy, inexpensive and fun idea and they look great on your tree or can be used to decorate holiday packages! 

Simply mix ¾ cup applesauce and a bottle of ground cinnamon (4.12 oz) until you have a smooth dough. 

Roll the dough ¼” thick and dig out those holiday cookie cutters. You can use a straw to make a hole in the tops of them to later thread a piece of ribbon through for hanging. 

Bake for 2 ½ hours at 200 degrees and then cool on a wire rack (or let them dry at room temperature for 1 – 2 days until thoroughly dry, turning occasionally).  

Decorate with paints, glitter, ribbon or whatever fun materials you have in your craft closet or leave them as is.

Fun for all ages and you will have some yummy smelling decorations that will last for years.
