These ornaments smell so good that you'll want to eat them-- but resist. They don't taste very good, I can promise you that. This dough rolls out very easily, and the cinnamon dough ornaments will last for years.

Categories     Other Non-Edibles

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp ground cloves
3/4 c applesauce, unsweetened
1 tsp essential oil (your choice)
2 Tbsp white craft glue cookie cutters or molds
straws
decorating materials
TIP: USE THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF YOUR CHOICE. TRY CINNAMON TO BRING OUT THE CINNAMON SCENT, OR APPLE TO MAKE APPLE-CINNAMON SCENTED CINNAMON ORNAMENTS. VANILLA-CINNAMON IS NICE, TOO!

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 cookie cutters in fun shapes: This will make your ornaments more festive and unique.
  • Be creative with your decorations: You can use sprinkles, glitter, or even small candies to add some extra flair to your ornaments.
  • Make sure to let your ornaments dry completely before hanging them: This will prevent them from becoming damaged or falling apart.
  • Store your ornaments in a cool, dry place: This will help them last for many years to come.
  • Have fun! Making ornament dough ornaments is a great way to get into the holiday spirit and spend time with loved ones.

Conclusion:

Ornament dough is a versatile and easy-to-use material that can be used to create beautiful and festive ornaments for your Christmas tree. With a little creativity, you can make ornaments that are unique and personal. So gather your supplies and get started today!
