Cinnamon & Apple Sauce Craft
A fun and easy craft. Tested in our Tree Top kitchen. (Note: these are not edible; for decoration only.)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Tree Top apple sauce (equivalent to 1 cup measured apple sauce)
- 1 cup Cinnamon
- Pencil (to make hole for ribbon)
- Cookie Cutters
- Ribbon
Instructions
- Mix together cinnamon and apple sauce until it makes a dough. The dough will be brown in color and be relatively thick like regular cookie dough.Lightly sprinkle a flat surface with cinnamon to prevent dough from sticking. Knead dough until you have a firm, pasty consistency.Roll out your dough to at least 3/8 inch thickness.Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.With a pencil end, poke a hole near the top of each shape. (Make sure the hole is not too close to the edge, and is large enough to insert a ribbon when dry.)Drying: Bake on baking sheet in 150°F oven for 3-5 hours, or air dry for 2 days. When air-drying, be sure to turn over a few times every day for a more even finish.Decorate when dry. Add a decorative ribbon for hanging.
Notes
STORING: Store in an airtight plastic bag or container to use next holiday season.
OTHER DECORATING TIPS: When dry, use acrylic paint to color or sprinkle with glue & glitter for a sparkle or glue a ribbon around the edge.
TIPS & NOTES: A thicker ornament will be less apt to break. Once dry, you can lightly sand the edges for a smoother finish.
ALTERNATIVE USES: Tie to a present in addition to gift tag. Hang in car or on a window sill as a wonderful smelling air freshener. Place in a wreath or on garland.
