Apple-Cinnamon Ornaments
1 Cup Plain Applesauce
1 Cup Cinnamon
1/4 Cup Elmer's glue (I have used craft glue in the past and they DID NOT turn out!!)
*Mix the three ingredients together and roll out on wax paper as you would cookie dough. (Work quickly because the mixture gets sticky!!). Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and lay on cookie sheet. Using a straw, poke a hole at the top of each ornament. Let dry (usually 24+ hours).
When the ornaments have dried, place a red ribbon through the hole and hang up on your tree. I know this is common sense, but do not eat! The smell is tempting...especially to little noses:)
Here is my kitchen tree this year. My sister-in-law, Kristy, gave me a Christmas plaque this year and I used it as my tree topper! Thanks, Kristy!! It's so cute!

Cute Donna! I have an extra, small tree up in my attic. I am going to make some of these for that tree, and put it on my hutch where my Tom Turkey was sitting for the past two months.
Now tell me sweetie--will these little ornaments last all year or will I need to make them again next year?
Denise, now don't quote me on this, but they should last until next year. I would store them in a ziploc bag in one of your storage containers, though. I had some from last year attached to my kitchen garland and something got into it...a bug or a little mouse? Gross, I know. I didn't store it in anything, though. It could have disintegrated from the weather, though, too. I don't want to think of bugs and mice in our attic!!!!
Thank you for posting this. I put a tree up in the playroom for the boys and need something to decorate it and this will be a hit...you are amazing!
