cinnamon apple ornaments

Here is something to try to keep in your dresser or on a tree to smell so nice.
Here is the recepie.
1 1/2 cups cinnamon
1 cup of apple sauce
1/3 cup of Elmer's glue
mix all ingredients together until dough forms
keep kneading till for a few minutes
Roll out till 1/8th to 1/4th inch thick (if sticky put cinnamon on your hands/rolling pin.Work on wax paper
Use cookie cutters
to cut out the shapes you desire.
Cut out a hole at the top of each with a drinking straw so you'll be able to thread a ribbon or string (for hanging) when dry.
It takes 4 or 5 days for the ornaments to air dry. You should turn them over frequently so they will dry evenly and won't curl

*** if you want to use them to eat or to be safe around children just omit the glue and add enough of the cinnamon and applesauce to make a bread dough like consistency.  Then you can use in your cooking when needed just crumble and your ready to cook with it.
This is the recipe I got from my mother.
