Cinnamon-Ornaments

Looking for a last minute craft idea to do with the kids next week? I have a solution. Make these cinnamon ornaments and your house will smell amazing! I used Christmas Spirit essential oil, but you could use cinnamon, clove, orange, or anything else you would like.

Cinnamon-Plane-Ornament

Carsyn absolutely loves anything that flies through the air. If he even hears a slight noise of something flying his eyes are turned to the sky. One of his favorite movies is Planes.  Don’t tell him but he is getting Planes Fire & Rescue for Christmas.  He will also be receiving these adorable Planes Fire & Rescue toys to go with the movie.

Planes-Pack

The Disney Planes Fire & Rescue Die-Cast Vehicles are on Rollback at Walmart along with the Disney Planes Flight to the Finish Speedway and the Disney Planes Fire & Rescue Deluxe Talking Vehicles.

I shared how I made the cinnamon ornaments below.  The original recipe I found called for 2 cups cinnamon 2 cups applesauce but it was waayyy too sticky. I ended up added twice as much cinnamon and some flour. I did measure the applesauce with a dry measuring cup. Maybe that is why it was sticky.

Cinnamon Ornament Directions

I thought I would share step by step photos of the process. Once I figured out a good ratio for everything I laid the dough out on wax paper and sprinkled with flour. Note: You could use cinnamon so that your ornaments aren’t white, but I planned to add glitter to these so I wasn’t too worried.

Cut-Ornament

Take a straw and poke a hole in the ornament towards the top. Just don’t get too close to the edge.

Straw-Hole

Place them on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper. Bake them at 200 for one hour, flip, then continue baking for one more hour. Or until they are dry and hard.

Baking-Ornaments

Transfer to a cooling rack. Once they are cooled the kids can get crafty.  They could paint them, or add different colors of glitter, or draw lines with the glue and then sprinkle the glitter on. I went simple and covered the whole plane with craft glue.

Craft-Glue

Next sprinkle with glitter.

Glitter

Let that dry for about 10 minutes, then add another layer of craft glue. This will seal in the glitter.

2nd-Layer-Craft-Glue

Let that dry completely. Now if you want you can add extra oil to the back of the ornament. Next year you can refresh your ornaments by adding fresh oil on the back.

Tie a ribbon on and you are done!

    We use essential oils for just about everything in our household. I love the idea of making your own ornaments with them. And Planes? My 3yo will LOVE this! Thank you for the idea.

    I haven't made cinnamon ornaments in a long time, but they're so much fun. And YES a 1:1 ratio is way off. You definitely need more cinnamon than that. I love the idea of making them glittery - so cute!

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.

Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red Ariel singing and dancing. She asked me to put red hair color in her hair so she could be Ariel 🧜‍♀️. The red from the front is already going away. Swipe to see her singing a song. Also, the last photo is of the banana bread I made yesterday. Check my reels for the recipe. So good.

Happy 4th Birthday Annelyn Jane. 

Also, side note. This balloon gave me so much trouble. The first one I bought got lost at her birthday party because a kid was running through the park and got his arm stuck on the string and away it flew. So I ordered another one to be delivered today and the package came sliced. So I had to put a bunch of tape on it and I still had to be quick with photos because it kept losing air. 🤦🏻‍♀️
