We had so much fun making these delicious smelling ornaments. Here
is the recipe:

Christmas Dough
This recipe is too simple to make only for the winter holidays

-use it anytime or anywhere you want your house to smell warm
and inviting. (Note that these ornaments are not edible.)
The ingredients 1 cup cinnamon
3/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup white glue

How to do it
Mix all ingredients well until they form a dough. Flatten the dough to
a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Keep in mind that the dough will be
quite dry, and can be tricky to work with.

Use cookie cutters to cut out festive holiday shapes. Use a drinking
straw to punch a small hole in the top of each ornament if you plan to
hang them. Keep them flat and move them to a warm, dry spot for 48
hours to allow them to dry. Turn each ornament over every few hours to
dry on each side. Alternatively, put them in a warm (not hot!) oven
for several hours.

A fun kids' craft to do once - the odor, of course, doesn't last from
season to season. It's a lot more economical to just buy a packet of
"stove top simmering" spices, and do that to make your house smell
good. Cinnamon isn't cheap.

I made these before but don't remember putting the glue in. They were dried
in the oven.

What a waste of applesauce and cinnamon.

It is cheap at an Indian grocery store.
