Cinnamon Ornaments Scented with dōTERRA Essential Oils
The holidays are a great time for fun crafts, great smells, new traditions, and quality family time. With Christmas right around the corner, there are probably many families decorating their trees, so why not add a little dōTERRA spice in the process?
These fun cinnamon ornaments are great to do by yourself or with the whole family. They are inexpensive to make and turn into a great quality (and smelling) ornament that you can hang on your own tree and enjoy for decades. They are also great as gifts, or air fresheners.
Ingredients:
2 cups apple sauce
2 cups ground cinnamon
straw
ribbon
Christmas cookie cutters
dōTERRA essential oils of your choice (some essential oils you could use are cinnamon, clove, Holiday Joy, wild orange, etc.)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix together 2 cups applesauce, 2 cups ground cinnamon, and 15 drops of dōTERRA essential oil(s) in a large mixing bowl until it forms into a ball.
2. Take the cinnamon dough ball and roll onto a piece of parchment paper until it reaches 1/4-1/3 of an inch thick. You might have to divide the ball into 3-4 sections and roll out 1 section at a time depending on counter space.
Tip: To help keep cinnamon from sticking to the rolling-pin or table, sprinkle ground cinnamon on table and rolling pin to help it not stick.
3. Take desired cookie cutters and cut into the dough. Take the cut pieces and place on baking sheet that is lined in parchment paper.
4. Take the straw and poke a hole in the top of the ornament. This will be where you will later tie your ribbon.
Tip: Don’t put the hole too close to the top of the ornament. Leave at least a 1/4-1/2 inch space from top.
5. Put baking sheets in preheated oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours or until ornaments are completely dry. Once dry, transfer to wire rack.
Note: You could also dry the ornaments at room temperature. To do this, carefully place each ornament on wire rack and let them sit for 1 to 2 days until completely dry, turning occasionally.
6. Insert ribbon through holes and tie.
7. Hang tied ornaments onto your tree.
Tip: You can also tie an ornament in your car for an air freshener or onto a present to use as a tag.
8. When done using for the holidays, store in an airtight container.
Tip: To continually bring back the holiday scent to your ornaments, lightly spritz or put 1-2 drops of essential oil(s) onto ornament and enjoy.
