Delicious aromas of cinnamon permeate the air in your home when you decorate your Christmas tree with a few of these DIY decorations.
To make about seven decorations 3 inches in diameter all you need is the following:
1 cup of cinnamon
3/4 cup of unsweetened apple sauce plus 1 more heaped Tablespoon.
And 3 Tablespoons of white PVA glue.
Mix all in a bowl and knead well until a dough is formed.
The more you knead, the better the consistency.
Sprinkle more cinnamon on the bench and roll with a rolling pin or press out into a circle that is 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the circles using a glass.
Or use shaped cookie cutters.
Or press a design into the dough.
I used icing shape cutters.
Use a nail or straw to make a hole for the hanger.
Slide a spatula under the dough.
Place the ornament gently on a baking paper-covered tray.
Bake in a 180 degrees oven for 20 minutes.
Leave to cool overnight.
Add a string or ribbon then hang it on your tree.
Or as in my case my upcycled bat branch from the Halloween decor.
I added mini pearl lights to the branch tree and added a single wooden deer ornament.
To finish it off, a pair of ceramic white deer standing in the front is surrounded by wooden heart lights.
Simple, but perfect.
And oh my!
The cinnamon ornaments make it smell like
JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS!
