When I was first introduced to The Ribbon Retreat, I had two little boys and so naturally didn’t think I had any need for ribbon, because ribbon is only used in hair bows right?!? And, my two little boys weren’t really excited about me putting bows in their hair. Well…was I ever wrong! Ribbon can be used in SO, SO, SO many more things than just hair bows and Havalah from Sisters, What! is showing us just how much a simple piece of ribbon can add to any craft…even these adorable Cinnamon and Applesauce Christmas Tree Ornaments! Enjoy!
This is Havalah from Sisters, What! I’m so excited to be here today to share with you my kid friendly Christmas Ornament: cinnamon applesauce ornaments. My little one has really wanted to use the Christmas cookie cutters everyday, so we took a break from cookies and made some cinnamon applesauce ornaments.
Captain Awesome insisted on glitter, lots of glitter, but they’re totally fun and he LOVES them.
DIY Cinnamon Applesauce Ornament
Ingredients and Supplies:
1/3 c. cinnamon
1 t. ground cloves
1 t. nutmeg
1/4 c. applesauce
2 t. craft glue
Ribbon
1. Combine spices and then add applesauce and craft glue. Knead until smooth. If it’s a little wet, add some flour to create a soft dough. Roll the dough between two pieces plastic wrap or wax paper until about 1/4″ thickness and then cut out ornaments with some fun Christmas cookie cutters. Don’t forget to puncture holes with straws.
2. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 200 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and then turn off oven and let them sit overnight or until they have hardened.
3. Add ribbon.
Thank you Havlah for this fun, festive and adorable project perfect to do with the whole family! I love kid friendly projects. Crafting with kiddos can be so much fun because of their excitement during the whole creative process and their pure joy and delight as they proudly display their finished projects on the fridge, table or in this case…the Christmas Tree!
