1/2 c plain applesauce (store bought is best)
1/2 c cinnamon
1 tsp white glue (optional)
Mix all ingredients together, forming into a ball of dough. Place a piece of wax paper on a cookie sheet, then put the ball of dough on the wax paper and then another piece of wax paper over the top of that. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch. Then carefully peel top layer of wax paper off. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and with a plastic straw cut out the hole for the ribbon. Carefully remove excess dough. Let shapes air dry on wax paper overnight, then flip over for a few more hours to dry completely. Once dry completely attach a ribbon and hang on your tree.
We use to make these ornaments every year when I was younger. I thought it would be fun to make with my kids. The white glue is optional, we used it this time because it helps the ornaments stay together a little bit better. These smell soooo good. *DO NOT EAT THESE*
How many ornaments will this make? I might do this for activity days.
ReplyDeleteIt will make about 8 - 10 depending on how thin you roll your dough, but you could easily double your recipe.
ReplyDeleteI still don't remember making these,,, but maybe it was something the family stopped doing by the time I got old enough to remember.. Oh well! they are super cute:)
