Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Cinnamon Christmas Tree Ornaments ============================ 2 Cups Cinnamon 2 Tabs white glue SEE NOTE 1 1/2 to 2 cups water(less on humid days) NOTE: Elmer's Glue can be used but NOT Elmer's school glue because it doesn't mix well. Combine all ingredients and mix well. The mixture should be a consistency that can be kneaded.After kneading, roll out mixture to about 1/4 thinkness.Cut with cookie cutters. Dip fingers in water before smoothing any rough edges.While ornament is still wet, stick in a straw near the top of cut-out shape to make a hole for a ribbon to hang finished decoration. Ornaments need to air-dry slowly and should be turned twice a day. Avoid putting decorations under air vents; drying too quickly can cause them to crack. Drying takes 2 days to a week,depending on humidity. Ornaments can be decorated with acrylic paint, but don't go overboard with paint or you'll smother the cinnamon smell. Ornaments can be saved from one year to the next; brushing with cinnamon oil will rejuvenate the cinnamon smell.
