Last week we made some cinnamon Christmas ornaments.(my frind Sarah's children had made these too I belive the same day...great minds think alike right Sarah :) )

 My sister had made these a few years ago

and I hadn't made them in awhile so thought this would be a quick and fun craft for the kids to do. It is a really simple project. You only need 1 cup cinnamon to 3/4 cup applesauce. Some people put more spices in but cinnamon is all I have done. You just mix it together and then roll it out and cut the shapes out just like you do cookies. You can either let them set out for 3-4 days or bake them at 150 for an hour or so, turning them once. Make sure you poke a hole in the ornament before you bake them(I use a straw). Then when they are hard, you can put ribbon thru hole so you can hang it. We use it for our tree then after Christmas I like to hang them in closets....I love the smell of cinnamon.
