Steps:
- For decorating: Tulip puffy fabric paint in matte white, white acrylic paint, white glue, beads or glitter, cookie cutters.
- Pour cinnamon in a bowl and gradually add applesauce and stir until mixture forms a stiff dough.
- Using extra cinnamon as "flour" roll out the dough to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
- Using a straw or skewer punch a hole at the top of the ornament.
- Bake at 200°F on a parchment lined baking pan.
- Until ornaments are very dry and very hard.
- Allow to cool to room temperature.
- The Tulip paint looks exactly like Royal icing so you can make inedible"cookies" to decorate your tree with (like those big Martha Stewart ones).
- They last a very long time and do not attract insects.
- If you use a cookie cutter that will imprint a design on your "cookies" you can use a dry paint brush with white acrylic paint to give your "cookies" a powdered sugar look.
- Or you can decorate your ornaments with beads and glitter to add sparkle to your holiday.
- Bottom line: they are easy and inexpensive to make, plus they smell GREAT!

CINNAMON & CLOVE SALT-DOUGH ORNAMENTS RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F. In stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the flour, salt, cloves, and cinnamon on low speed until well combined. Slowly add the water until the dough starts to come together. Move the dough to a floured work surface and knead until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle it with a little flour until the stickiness is gone. (Be careful not to add too much flour, however, as it will dry out the dough and cause it to crack.) Using a rolling pin that's been dusted with flour, roll out the dough until it's about 1/4" thick. Then, use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes. Make a hole towards the top of each shape with a straw. Move the ornaments to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 2 hours. Transfer the ornaments to a cooling rack and allow them to harden. (This could take one or two days.) After they're dry, you can decorate the shapes, if desired. Then, spray with a couple layers of shellac to preserve. When dry, thread a piece of ribbon through the hole at the top for hanging and tie.
