Steps:
- 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cinnamon and cloves. Add the applesauce, essential oil, and glue.
- 2. Knead in bowl for a few minutes, until you have a firm, pliable dough. Add more cinnamon if the dough is too wet, more applesauce if it's too dry.
- 3. Dust your work surface with cinnamon (just as you would with flour for regular cookies). Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, or press into a cookie mold. For molds, press dough into mold, smooth with rolling pin, remove, and cut away extra dough.
- 4. While still moist, cut a hole in the top of each ornament with the end of a straw for hanging. Place ornaments on paper towels and air dry for several days. Carefully flip them several times while drying so they won't bend or warp.
- 5. In a hurry? Instead of air drying, bake ornaments at 200 degrees F for about 3 hours, turning occasionally. Decorate!
Tips:
- Use a sturdy dough that can hold its shape well. You can use a bread dough, cookie dough, or even a pizza dough.
- Roll out the dough thinly so that it's easy to cut and shape.
- Use cookie cutters to create fun and festive shapes for your ornaments.
- If you're using a bread dough, let it rise before baking so that it's light and fluffy.
- Bake the ornaments at a low temperature so that they don't burn.
- Let the ornaments cool completely before decorating them.
- You can decorate the ornaments with paint, glitter, or other festive decorations.
- Hang the ornaments on your Christmas tree or give them as gifts.
Conclusion:
Dough ornaments are a fun and easy way to decorate your home for the holidays. They're also a great way to use up leftover dough. With a little creativity, you can create beautiful and unique ornaments that will add a festive touch to your holiday décor.
