here is a link to an ornament I plan on making for my tree... made out of cinnamon dough.

mmmmmmmm I love the smell of cinnamon! Will have to try these!

I have saved many favorite cards over the years and usually just set them in the tree but I LOVE this idea!!! Thanks!

Ooooh, yeah...those cinnamon dough ornaments (above post) are wonderful. We've made ornaments with them before. It's really fun to roll out the dough and trace your child's handprint; then you have sweet little cinnamon hands to hang around; they smell fantastic and make really great gifts too. Children can use little cookie cutters to cut shapes out of the dough. If you wrap your cinnamon ornaments carefully at the end of the season and store them in ziplock bags or a tight seal container they should keep too. Actually, we made a handprint of my son back when he was 3 years old and have kept it hanging in the kitchen ever since...and that was back in 1998!

 

  My girlfriend made the cinnamon ornaments last year with her kids and they came out great! The kids loved decorating them with glitter and ribbons and we are making them this year indefinately!

i took a plain stocking i got at walmart for $1, peel and stick north pole foamies $2 and fabric paint $1. with those i personalized eash stocking this is something very easy and fun for the kids to do. you could also use felt and cut out your own designs and glue it on.

the cinnamon cookies is that all you really need to make then just a cup cinn and some apple sauce? does the apple sauce need to be homade or can i just by the motts brand, how long do i bake it for on what temp? and i can use any shape cookie cutter right? sorry so many questions. but im really interested in making this with my baby sis and this is my first xmas at my own house so i dont have much of any decor. and this sounds cheap.

We did the cinnamon ornaments this year too. We also did some of the glass ornaments with popcorn in them. I went and bought a bunch of the ornaments. I opened a bag of un-popped microwave popcorn and wiped all the kernals off so it doesn't get the inside too greasy. Then you put about 20-30 kernals in each ornament, put one in a paper bag and put it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes (you just need to listen). Then you can decorate the outside with glitter glue or whatever you want. I also put a little glitter inside and shook it around and it coats the inside. I hope this all made sense. We are also putting tinsel inside the ornaments. I'm also thinking about doing maybe feathers or beads or something like that.

I love this Idea Where did you find the Glass Ornaments? All i have ever seen were colored ones at walmart. I would love to Do this For my brother He is a Popcorn Freck lol. He loves popcorn. This would be a great little cheap gift for him.

It was way cheap! I got the ornaments at Hobby Lobby but I think that you can pretty much get them at any craft store. I'm excited!
