Cinnamon Dough Ornaments


1½ c. ground cinnamon
1 c. applesauce
¼ c. white school glue (Elmer's)
  1. Mix cinnamon, applesauce, and glue together in a bowl.  The dough should be as thick as cookie dough.  Add a bit of water if the dough is too stiff.
  2. Remove from the bowl and knead until smooth.  Put back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit for at least a half hour.
  3. Remove the dough, knead again to make sure it is smooth.
  4. Flatten the dough between waxed paper until it is between ¼" to 1/8" thick.
  5. Cut out desired shapes, use a straw to punch a hole for the ribbon to hang.
  6. Gently place the shapes on a piece of clean wax paper.
  7. They will dry in about 3 days.
  8. Turn them over several times a day to dry evenly and flat.
