Mary blogged about her fun times making cinnamon ornaments and the idea was planted in my head to try and make some myself.
Cinnamon Ornaments!
Here's my how to on making these wonderful smelling decorations:
What You'll Need:
- equal parts applesauce and cinnamon (I used 1 cup each)
- ground nutmeg and clove if you have them
- Elmers Glue
- oven or dehydrator
- plastic straw
- rolling pin
- wax paper
- cookie cutters
- cookie pan

Don't eat them - they won't taste good, they just smell good.

Now I need some puffy paint so I can decorate them.

so thats what you were doing whilst we were freezing our butts off at the market...
had fun though!
You are so cute!!
I bet your tree smells yummy! (do you have a new haircut?)
actually, all I did yesturday was watch the snow out the window... I sat around and listened to the radio and watched movies on my computer (Tim's TV conveniently broke). We took a walk (to rent more movies) at one point and froze our butts off.
I made the ornaments the night before :)
maggie - if the weather weren't so shit I'd make you decorate them with me! You have all the right supplies!
Erin - no haircut, just unkempt, snow-bound, smooshed by hats hair :)
I made some of these last year, and it was so exciting to pull them out again this week! Mine aren't decorated, but I think that's okay. Maybe some day, I'll find time to do it right. :)
do yours still smell good from last year? I remember these things holding their scent really well... my mom would simply wrap them in a little tissue and store in a cardboard box during the year. Hers were not decorated at all either... I just can't resist the opportunity to play with glitter glue and puffy paint! Although, I don't have any, and a drive to the crafty store doesn't seem quite possible today...
