'The Kitchn' recently put together a tutorial for making scented cinnamon ornaments. Whether it is a batch of mulled cider or some freshly baked Christmas cookies, cinnamon is certainly synonymous with the holiday season. These scented ornaments provide a simple and festive way to ensure that the sweet smell lingers all season long.
The scented cinnamon ornaments are made from either salt dough or cornstarch dough. The dough is easy to prepare and only requires three ingredients: ground cinnamon, applesauce and white school glue. Once baked, the dough can be cut into any shape and decorated to match your own holiday decor. The ornaments can then be hung throughout the home or attached to gifts to fill any space with the sweet smell of cinnamon.
