Apple Cinnamon Ornament Craft

Apple Cinnamon Ornament Craft
Materials Needed:

Applesauce
Cinnamon
Cookie Cutters
Straw
Ribbon
Instructions:
Mix pretty much equal parts of the applesauce and the cinnamon until you get it to be a nice clay consistancy. Roll the dough out on wax paper until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use the cookie cutters to cut out holiday shapes. With the straw, poke a small hole towards the top of the shape. Put the shapes in a warm spot to dry, this takes a few days! Once your sweet-smelling ornaments are dry you can string a 8 - 10 inch piece of ribbon through the hole you made with the straw and hang it up!

Thank you for posting this, Goddess Rhiannon! I was thinking of making traditional dough ornaments, but this sounds much more interesting! :)

Do you know how well they keep?

some friends from here...made me some last year....and they still smell wonderful...and have not molded or anything...so they stay pretty well.....I am very impressed

Oh wow... I did not expect them to last more than one week or so!

Thank you very much for the prompt answer, I will start making some tomorrow! :)

Can we bake them instead of letting them dry in a warm spot for several days? I'm thinking a couple of hours (with a close eye) at about 250 F.
