Scented Cinnamon Ornaments

If you're looking for a fun craft that you can use as a gift or just decorate your tree with, these little ornaments are ideal. I think the smaller ornaments are cute as package decorations, too. These are easy and inexpensive to make and the scent is wonderful in your house!

My Holiday Scrapbook:

Scented Cinnamon Ornaments

1 C cinnamon
3/4 C applesauce
2 TBSP white school glue
1 TBSP cloves
1 TBSP nutmeg

Combine spices, add applesauce and glue. Stir to combine. Work mixture w/ hands 2-3 min. or until dough is smooth. Divide into 4 parts. Roll out each dough portion to 1/4". Cut into desired shapes. Make a small hole in the top of each ornament w/ a straw(for the ribbon). Allow to dry at room temperature for 3-4 days. Turn ornaments once a day for uniform drying. Thread ribbon through hole in the ornament.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

I'll be at these swaps today; give them a look for lots of great recipes and ideas!
