3/4 cup ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons white glue
1 cup applesauce
1 straw
1/8-inch or 1/4-inch satin ribbon
Combine spices, glue and applesauce and mix until
well blended. Mixture should be stiff. Roll out to
a 1/4-inch thickness on wax paper. Using small or
medium-size cookie cutters, cut dough into desired
shapes. Peel away excess dough and re-roll as necessary.
If making ornaments, poke a hole at top of ornament
with the straw. Let ornaments dry uncovered for 2
or 3 days, turning them over several times during
the drying period.
After ornaments have dried, tie ribbon on top and
place in sealed plastic bag until ready to use. You
can also decorate the ornaments with lace, glitter
or craft paints.
If using as magnets, attach a stick-on magnet to
the back.
