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.

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.

    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!

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
