Thank You Cinnamon Ornaments



My daughter asked me create her some thank you notes, so I whipped up some and added little cinnamon ornaments as a small gift.



Essentials by Ellen Voices in My Head, The Ton Confetti Borders sentiments, Reverse Confetti Gift Card Holder die, AALL & Create Superbly Square Stencil, Lawn Fawn Yeti Ink, Papertrey Ink Pure Poppy, Versafine Onyx Black Ink, Brutus Monroe Hyper Pigment Gold


I sponged on the background with Lawn Fawn Ink and an AALL stencil.



Each ornament is finished with Brutus Monroe's Hyper Gold pigment.

Cinnamon Ornament Recipe

Ingredients (yields 5-6 ornaments)

-1 Cup Ground Cinnamon

-1 tsp Nutmeg

-1 tsp Cloves 

-3/4 Cup unsweetened applesauce

-2 TBS Tacky Glue (I use Aleene's Original Craft glue) 

-Cookie Cutters 


Directions

Combine the spices with applesauce. Add glue and knead well with hands until mixture forms stiff dough. Dust the surface lightly with cinnamon and roll out the dough 1/4" thick. Cut the dough with cookie cutters and lay out on a sheet of waxed paper.  Gently poke a hole in each with a straw. Leave in a safe place to dry for about a week, flipping the ornament multiple times each day to evenly dry.  When dry, decorate with paint and/or glitter and attach a ribbon. You can store finished ornament in a plastic bag and reuse it each year.


My girls make these every year and they are well received!
