Applesauce Ornaments

Constitute: equal parts of plain applesauce and cinnamon.

Combine completely, place on parchment paper and roll flat. Sprinkle the paper and rolling pin with cinnamon to prevent sticking. Use cookie cutters to create shapes.

Make a hole with a straw for your tree hanger.

Lightly smooth wet finger tips over cracks or imperfections.

Inscribe with a toothpick. Allow to dry by oven or air dry. By oven: place on a cookie sheet, heat for 1-2 hours on your lowest setting until dry and firm. Flip often. Air dry: leave out for 24-48 hours until dry and firm. Flip often.

String with ribbon or yarn and hang from your tree!



For shits and giggles, I created a
Voodoo Doll Gingerbread Man.

Pure Novelty.

Ouch.

  2. Huh, how long do these last? I'd be worried about them crumbling before the end of the season! Then again, I live in Florida where it's still damp all the time, lol.

  3. What a great idea! Your ornaments are adorable, by the way. I bet they smell all cinnamon-y good.

  4. Made these with the group of nonverbal autistic children I teach. Classroom smelled of cinnamon for two days. Yes indeed they do double nicely as airfresheners. But as one my students found out (much to his dismay) they don't taste anywhere near as good as they smell :-)~
