Super Easy 3 Ingredient Cinnamon Ornaments

Super easy, 3 ingredient, homemade cinnamon Christmas ornaments. A great DIY craft to make with your kids or grandkids. 

Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments

Good morning friends! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, can you believe the longest, slowest year is fast approaching it’s end? Celebrations are looking a lot different this year but we are still celebrating, my husband and I,  with a tiny turkey and all the fixings(enough for a small army) with my family on Zoom. I am sure by now your groceries are purchased, your meal is planned, there are pies in the oven or already cooling and the table is set, so I will not offer any advice about Thanksgiving. Instead I am going to share my homemade cinnamon ornaments. 

Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments

This is a SUPER EASY 3 Ingredient Cinnamon Ornament recipe, so if you get bored with football or have kids to keep busy this weekend you can make a batch of this dough and cut out ornaments or gift tags. The best news, you do not even have to bake them if you don’t want to!

3 Ingredient Cinnamon Ornaments

Ingredients

1 cup ground cinnamon

3/4 cup of applesauce

3 tablespoons of white glue

Cinnamon ornaments

Directions

Line a cookies sheet with parchment paper, set aside. Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, mix well with a spatula. Once mixed, gather the dough into a ball and knead a few times. Then sprinkle your work surface and rolling pin with cinnamon and roll the dough to 1/4″ thickness.

Cut out your favorite shapes with cookie cutters and place them on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Then gather the dough scraps into a ball and roll out again, cut more shapes. Repeat the process until all of the dough is used. 

Cinnamon ornaments

Take a skewer or a straw and poke a hole in the ornaments. 

At this point you can leave the ornaments to air dry, this takes about 24-48 hours. Turn them over every once in awhile and flip them as well. Or you can bake them in the oven in a pre-heated 200 degree oven for about 2 hours. 

Once the cookie ornaments are cooled from baking or dried after 48 hours, cute pieces of string or decorative twine to desired length, tie the two ends in a knot and hang them on your tree, or use them in garland or on packages. 

Note: I baked mine because I was impatient and they did shrink a little and some of the gingerbread men curled a little bit. 

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, be safe! And if you make some ornaments be sure to let me know, I would love to see them!

    How adorable these are! I'd have never thought applesauce would be an ingredient for these. You always come up with the best food ideas every day of the year. Thank you for that. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe.
