I've made these the last two years with my girl friends. I hang a couple on my tree and tie the rest on presents as gift tags. They are a double wammy because they make your tree smell good and when you're baking them they make you house smell like Christmas exploded all over it. Amazing. Be warned: the making of them is very quick but the bake/dry time takes for-ev-ver! So don't do it last minute!
Things You'll Need:
- 1 c. cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp. white glue
- 1 c. applesauce
- 2 Tbsp. cloves
- 2 Tbsp. nutmeg
- Christmas cookie cutters
- 1 straw
- string
How To Make Them:
- mix all ingredients until they form a dough
- knead dough until it is able to form a ball
- sprinkle some cinnamon on the counter and roll out your dough ball
- use your cookie cutters to make shapes and place on baking rack
- use straw to poke holes in your ornaments for your string/hooks
- now you can either leave them on the baking rack to dry for a couple of days OR
- place baking rack in oven at 200 degrees for about an hour and a half (1.5 hours) or until they are dry and rock hard
- I left mine in the oven (turned off) overnight to make sure they would dry completely
