CINNAMON SPICE ORNAMENTS

These oranments are so fun to make and the smell is heavenly! Your house will literally smell of cinnamony goodness!

3/4 c. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. ground cloves
1 tbsp. ground allspice
1 c. applesauce
1 tbsp. ground nutmeg

Mix all spices together, blending well. Add applesauce and mix well. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness on wax paper. Cut shapes. Gently transfer ornaments to an ungreased cookie sheet and allow to dry at room temperature, 4 to 6 days. Before drying, make a small hole in top of ornament with a large needle and a loop of gold or silver thread or apply a small magnetic strip to back. When ornaments are completely dry, store in sealed plastic bag or air tight container until ready to use.

I strung red gingham ribbon through the holes and tied in a bow



I hung the ornaments on a little table top tree and added red beaded garland. I made mostly star-shaped ornaments but also added smaller hearts and gingerbread men.
