      Recipe 1: The recipe that I use is
      1/2 cup ground cinnamon,
      1/3 cup applesauce, and
      1 Tbs. Tacky glue Mix in bowl and stir until well blended. Work mixture in hands for three minutes to form a ball.

      If it is too dry, add applesauce, if too wet, add more cinnamon. Knead ball on cinnamon-sprinkled surface until it holds togehter well. I roll this out and use cookie cutters for the shapes.

      I also use a drinking straw to cut a hanging hole. These can be air dried for 24 to 48 hours. Turn several times.

      They can also be baked in a slow oven. Recipe 2:
      1 lb. powdered cinnamon
      3/4 c.

      applesauce
      1/8 c. orris root powder (optional)
      1/8 oz. apple fragrance (optional) Add scent to the orris root and mix well.

      Combine with the cinnamon powder and add the applesauce. Add a tiny bit of apple cider if it’s too dry, or more cinnamon if too wet. Roll out no thinner than 1/4″ and cut out shapes.

      Use a straw to cut a hole at the top if making a hanging ornament. Dry in a dehydrator or air-dry. Let dry thoroughly and sand the rough edges with a fingernail file and paint with fabric paints.

      Recipe 3:
      1-4 oz. can of cinnamon
      1 T. cloves
      1 T.

      nutmeg
      3/4 cup applesauce
      2 T. white glue Mix dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients Mix thoroughly. Roll out and cut shapes.

      Let dry several days, turning over frequently. Do not eat!!! Recipe 4:
      1 c.

      cinnamon
      1 t. nutmeg
      1 t. allspice
      1 t.

      ground cloves
      1 c. applesauce Combine dry ingredients. Add applesauce a little at a time, mixing thoroughly.

      Roll out and cut shapes. Allow to dry 4-5 days. Paint after completely dry.

      Recipe 5:
      1 Cup Cinnamon
      1T Cloves
      1T Nutmeg
      3/4 C Applesauce
      2T White glue combine cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg. Add applesauce & glue, stir to combine, work mixture with hands for 2-3 minutes. Divide into 4 parts.

      Roll each to 1/4″ thickness. Use straw or toothpick for hole. Place on wire rack & allow to dry at room temp.

      Turn after a day. (takes about 2 days to dry). I use white fabric paint to decorate, looks like frosting.
