Super Easy 3 Ingredient Cinnamon Ornaments
Super easy, 3 ingredient, homemade cinnamon Christmas ornaments. A great DIY craft to make with your kids or grandkids.
Ingredients
1 cup ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons white school glue
3/4 cup applesauce
Directions:
Mix applesauce, glue and cinnamon in a bowl, use a spatula to be sure to get all of the ingredients from the side and bottom of the bowl. Once mixed gather the dough into a ball and knead on your work surface for a few minutes.
Sprinkle your work surface with a little cinnamon and roll out the dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut out your favorite shapes.
Place the cookie/ornaments on a parchment lined baking pan. Poke a hole in the top with a skewer or a straw.Let ornaments sit for 24-48 hours to dry, turn occasionally to help them dry faster. Alternately, you can bake the ornaments at 200F for 2 hours.
One the ornaments are dry or cooled from baking they are ready to be hung. Simply cut lengths of twine to the desired length, poke the twine through the hole that you made before the cookies dried, tie the two ends together and they are ready

I did these with my children and Home DayCare for years, another CUTE addition is to thin down white paint (in the form of icing) place into a small plastic bottle (easier to handle) with a cap that has a tip on it, squeeze bottle of (paint) icing to decorate your ornament

That sounds like a great idea
Have a question about this project?
I've seen this before but didn't include glue. What's the purpose of the glue in this recipe? Does it help keep them together? I haven't tried the other recipe yet so I'm not sure if it works or not. Thank you!!
Thank you!
just wondering why the applesauce. you would not be able to keep the ornaments long term
I have some that my son and I made 30 years ago. They are just as dirty and they smell just as wonderful as they did 30 years ago. They don’t become rancid or anything. You don’t need the glue, either.
is it possible to use mod podge, in substitute for the glue
I could not say as I have only used Elmers glue.
