I belong to a grouping Pinterest board called 'It's Beginning to Smell Like Christmas' ... in addition to alongside these Cinnamon Ornaments around, that's sure true!

Each morning time when my students walked inward spell these were drying, they'd say, "It all the same smells similar cinnamon inward here!" To which I'd reply, "It's going to odour that means for a while!" Which to me, is a wonderful thing. I love the odour of cinnamon. Fortunately, my students do, too.
Also fortunately, these adorable fiddling cinnamon ornaments are pretty slowly to brand ... alongside just iii elementary ingredients in addition to some drying time.
The iii elementary ingredients are applesauce, liquid white glue {you know, similar the Elmer's white stuff}, in addition to .... tin dismiss y'all guess??? ... CINNAMON! Yes, I bet y'all had figured that out.
You tin dismiss position inward a fiddling fleck of the world cloves or allspice, if you'd like, for a fleck of a twist on the aroma.
Or, equally I discovered ... y'all tin dismiss fifty-fifty role a mixture of cinnamon in addition to pumpkin pie spice.
See, I sort of waited to the terminal infinitesimal to larn all the cinnamon I needed to brand these cinnamon ornaments alongside my class. I had virtually one-half of what I needed, thus ran out the nighttime earlier nosotros were making these to purchase the rest.

Well, evidently this wasn't a adept plan. Because apparently I'm non the entirely instructor inward my town who makes these alongside her students.
First shop - no cinnamon.
Second shop - no cinnamon.
Third shop - no cinnamon. And me? No to a greater extent than patience for looking for cinnamon!
So I scanned all the spices thinking of what else could operate ... when my eyes landed on a large amount of pumpkin pie spice lining the shelves. Score! I knew that would operate in addition to move jusssssssstt fine.
Now, i time y'all mix upwards a dough alongside the applesauce, glue, in addition to cinnamon, just gyre it out or pat out balls of it alongside your hands, similar this ...
You wish the dough to halt upwards just virtually 1/2-inch thick. Much thicker volition accept a long fourth dimension to dry out ... in addition to much thinner volition curl upwards a tad fleck on the edges equally it dries.
But there's sure non an exact scientific discipline to the thickness! ... guess is just fine.
Next, press a cookie cutter into the dough to cutting out your ornaments. We used a gingerbread shape cookie cutter, but these tin dismiss sure move made inward whatsoever shape you'd like.
Use a straw, pencil, or wooden skewer to poke a hole close the move past times for a ribbon ...
... in addition to and thus gear upwards the cutting cinnamon ornaments aside on waxed newspaper or newspaper towels to dry.
They'll air dry out inward virtually iii or iv days ... or, if y'all quest a faster turn-around, they tin dismiss dry out inward a few hours inward a 200 marker oven.
When rolling out the dough in addition to cutting the ornamentation shapes, move on inward heed that the cinnamon ornaments volition dry out exactly how they hold off when they're cutting {aside from a slight alter inward color}.
So if y'all wish them to have got a smoothen surface, operate the dough until it's smoothen on top. If the shape warps a tad when removing them from the cutters, reshape them immediately.
When rolling out the dough in addition to cutting the ornamentation shapes, move on inward heed that the ornaments volition dry exactly how they hold off when they're cut.
Of course, I intend the 'character' of the ornaments made past times fiddling s marker hands is precious.
Some alongside thumbprints correct smack inward the middle of the body.
Some alongside ribbon holes correct smack inward the middle of the face.
Some alongside a few 'character lines' {aka - cracks} ...
And some alongside interesting shapes ...
But fingerprints, interesting shapes, 'character lines,' in addition to all ... these cinnamon ornaments were all made alongside honey in addition to joy.
And I'm reminded of that beautiful honey in addition to joy each fourth dimension I grab a wonderful whiff of cinnamon from these drying about my classroom in addition to house.
