Making Your Own Homemade Cinnamon Christmas Ornaments
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start making your ornaments, it's important to gather all the necessary ingredients. The main ingredient, of course, is cinnamon. You will also need applesauce, white glue, and a few drops of essential oil for added scent. You can choose from scents like pine, peppermint, or orange to give your ornaments a unique aroma. Additionally, you'll need some cookie cutters, a rolling pin, and some baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Mixing and Rolling Out the Dough
To make the dough for your ornaments, simply mix together 1 cup of applesauce, 1 ½ cups of cinnamon, and ¼ cup of white glue in a bowl. Once the mixture is well combined, transfer it onto a flat surface dusted with cinnamon and roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness using a rolling pin. Pro tip: If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more cinnamon to the surface before rolling it out.
Cutting Out Your Ornaments
Using your cookie cutters, cut out different shapes from the dough. You can choose from traditional Christmas shapes like stars or gingerbread men, or get creative and make your own unique designs. Once you've cut out all your ornaments, use a straw to poke a hole at the top of each one. This is where you will thread a ribbon or string to hang them on your tree.
Baking and Decorating
Place your ornaments on the lined baking sheets and bake them at 200°F for about 2-3 hours, flipping them halfway through. Once they are completely dry and hardened, let them cool before decorating. You can use glitter, paint, or glue on gems to add some extra sparkle and color to your ornaments.
Hang and Enjoy!
Thread a ribbon or string through the hole at the top of your ornaments and voila - your homemade cinnamon Christmas ornaments are ready to be hung on your tree! Not only do they look and smell amazing, but they also make for a fun and festive activity to do with family and friends. So get creative and have fun making your own unique ornaments that will add a special touch to your holiday decorations. Happy crafting!
