Apple Cinnamon Ornament Craft
How to Make a Clay Ornament

By , About.com Guide

Instructions to make an apple cinnamon Christmas tree ornament.

  • Age Guideline: 3 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Materials Needed:

  • Applesauce
  • Cinnamon
  • Cookie Cutters
  • Straw
  • Ribbon

Instructions:
Mix pretty much equal parts of the applesauce and the cinnamon until you get it to be a nice clay consistency. Roll the dough out on wax paper until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use the cookie cutters to cut out holiday shapes. With the straw, poke a small hole towards the top of the shape. Put the shapes in a warm spot to dry, this takes a few days! Once your sweet-smelling ornaments are dry you can string a 8 - 10 inch piece of ribbon through the hole you made with the straw and hang it up!
