Girl Scout Troop 704
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 cup cinnamon | 1 teaspoon allspice |
| 1 teaspoon cloves | 1 teaspoon nutmeg |
| 1 cup applesauce | cookie cutters |
| ribbon for hangers | nail to make hole |
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients together.
Add applesauce and mix until it's the consistency of playdough, (may need to add more cinnamon or applesauce).
Roll out to about a 1/4 inch thickness on a surface coated with cinnamon. Cut out desired shape with cookie cutter.
Poke a hole in top of ornament for some type of hanger when dry. (We used the real small width ribbon for hangers).
Place on cookie sheets and air dry 4 - 5 days. Turn the ornaments over once or twice a day so that they dry evenly.
If you want you can paint on them when they are dry. (We didn't but you could).
Note: I found another receipe that says to bake the ornaments at 150 degrees for 1 hour and then turn the oven off and leave them in for another 2 to 3 hours. You might want to try that instead of letting them air dry.
I always double the batch. You can find cinnamon in bulk at warehouse type stores (then it's not so expensive - Sams club or Cub foods is where I find it). We made stars, hearts, bells, teddy bears, and trees.
This is a fun and easy craft for all ages, although it can be a little messy.
