No Bake Cinnamon Applesauce Christmas Ornaments
These ornaments are perfect for decorating your Christmas tree or giving as gifts. You won’t need an oven, just a few ingredients and some creativity!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 cup ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon glue (optional, for better durability)
- String or ribbon (for hanging)
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the applesauce and ground cinnamon. Mix until a dough forms.
- If using glue, add it to the mixture to enhance the strength of the ornaments.
- Once the dough is well combined, take a portion and roll it into a ball. Flatten it gently with your hands to create a disc shape.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out festive shapes from the flattened dough.
- Remember to poke a hole at the top of each ornament to insert the string later on. You can use a straw or the end of a pencil for this step.
- Lay the shaped ornaments on a drying rack or a tray. Allow them to dry for at least 24 hours. If you’re in a hurry, you can place them in a cool, dry area but avoid direct sunlight to prevent cracking.
- Once dried, they can be decorated with paint or glitter if you like!
- Finally, add a piece of string or ribbon through the hole for hanging, and you’re all set to adorn your tree or gift to someone special.
These beautiful ornaments not only bring a festive feel to your home but also create wonderful memories as you craft them with family or friends. Enjoy your time making these delightful decorations, and happy holidays!
