Cinnamon Dough

*Okay this is not an edible dough but a craft dough that smells DIVINE! I had a friend use this dough to make a craft with ginger bread people cut outs and she decorated them in fabric and added them to a wreath. The scent of apple & cinnamon lasted all season. This would be perfect for some easy tree ornaments that kids could cut out and make.

1 cup ground cinnamon
1 tbls. ground nutmeg (optional)
1 tbls. ground cloves (optional)
3/4 cup apple sauce
2 tbls. tacky glue

Combine dry ingredients, add applesauce and glue.

Mix until well blended.

Work mixture in hands for 2 or 3 minutes to form a ball.

Knead on cinnamon sprinkled surface until it holds together well.

Cut out ornaments, use a straw to put a hole for hanging.

Dry on wax paper, turning periodically so cutouts stay flat and do not dry unevenly. Refrigerate any unused portion in a sealed container.
