As we come to the 12th day of Yule we get ready to make cinnamon ornaments for our tree. Not only are they crazy easy to make they also make your house smell amazing as they are baking. These ornaments are a lot like the salt dough ornaments set they are made with cinnamon, allspice, dough and applesauce. Apple's representative the Sun and life because of the seed that is inside of it. Then for the cinnamon we are going to be focusing on the peace aspect of it. Luck and love are the allspice of life so may they flow through our lives. Phoenix puts the applesauce into a large mixing bowl. Rowan puts the cinnamon, and allspice into the large mixing bowl as well. I slowly put the flour in as I let Phoenix slowly mix until it forms a nice dough. While they're doing that I spread a generous amount of allspice on the parchment paper so that we can roll the dough on it. Make sure that your dough is at least 3/4 to 1 inch thick then pick your cookie cutter shape and now it's time to take turns cutting. Remember that when you are pushing down with the cookie cutter you want to push firmly so that it cut off of the extra dough yet still has a shape. Then place it on the parchment paper carefully. Don't forget to poke a hole in it for your ribbon to go through I used a straw it was the perfect size for the ribbon and it was hollow. Then bake it in the oven for 3 hour Directions
3 cup applesauce 2 1/2 cups flour 2 cups allspice 1 1/2 bottles ground cinnamon Cookie cutters Drinking straw Colorful ribbon Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix applesauce, allspice, cinnamon in small bowl slowly add flour until a smooth ball of dough is formed. Roll it out till 1 inch thick then cut dough into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Make a hole at top of ornament then place ornaments on baking sheet. Bake 2 1/2 hours. Cool ornaments then carefully insert ribbon through holes and tie to hang.

As a mom of three boys who go to public school I started to notice that some things were not being taught in detail so I decided to create lessons for them. Many of these lessons cover science, history and of information about Paganism. I share crafts for the all different holidays and cultures as ways that they can learn and have fun at the same time.
