apple1_jpg.jpgI went apple picking a few days ago and was reminded that October is National Apple month. So here is a festive craft to get you ready for fall! It’s an easy apple ornament that you can hang in the kitchen, or save to hang on your Christmas tree.

Materials Needed:

  • Applesauce
  • Cinnamon
  • Cookie Cutters
  • Straw
  • Ribbon

Mix pretty much equal parts of the applesauce and the cinnamon until you get it to be a nice clay consistency. Roll the dough out on wax paper with a rolling pin until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use the cookie cutters to cut out holiday shapes. With the straw, poke a small hole towards the top of the shape. Put the shapes in a dry spot to dry. Be patient, this takes a few days. Once your sweet-smelling ornaments are dry you can string a piece of ribbon through the hole you made with and hang it up.
