- --------------------------------------
**Cinnamon Ornaments**

Need:

cinnamon
white glue
applesauce
rolling pin
cookie cutter
gold thread
straw

Mix 1 cup cinnamon and 1 cup applesauce with 1 Tablespoon of white glue.
You
want a consistency that can be rolled with a rolling pin but not quite
as
sticky or it will stick to your counter! Sprinkle counter with cinnamon
and
roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters. Cut a hole in shape with the

straw so you will be able to hang them. Let dry about 24 hours. They
shrink
as they dry. Cut lengths of gold thread, make loops and hang. they will
keep
their scent for a few years. Refresh scent with cinnamon fragrance oil
as
needed.

- -------------------------------------
**Snowballs**

Need:

styrofoam ball
tissue paper
glue
glitter

Take a styrofoam ball and place on an egg carton, cup or other stand to
prevent rolling. Paint the surface that is showing with thinned white
glue.
Then put white and blue tissue paper squares into the glue. Sprinkle
sparkles sparingly. Then turn the ball over and complete the other side.

This makes a great ornament for the tree, or a great table decoration if
you
place several snowballs in a bowl. Have fun!
