How to Make Faux Gingerbread Ornaments

Supplies

apple sauce
cinnamon
plastic wrap
cookie cutters of choice {I used a couple of sizes of these snowflake cookie cutters}
white puffy fabric paint
twine, ribbon, or clear fishing wire to hang

To Make

Preheat the oven to 200 F.
Using your hands, mix the applesauce and cinnamon together until a smooth ball of dough is formed. If the dough is feeling a little crumbly, you can add a small amount of
Place about 1/3rd of the dough between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and roll into a thin sheet approximately 1/3rd of an inch thick.
Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and cut out dough with the cookie cutters. Repeat as needed until all of the dough has been used.
Place the ornaments on a cookie sheet and use a skewer to make a hole if you would like. For my snowflakes, I chose to wrap them with fishing line to hang instead of making a hole.
Bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes and allow to cool. Ensure that they are loosened from the cookie sheet prior to cooling. {NOTE: If you are doing this for a school project and you don’t have access to an oven, let them air dry for at least 2 days until firm}
Add details with the white puffy paint and allow to dry.

Add baker’s twine or ribbon to hang.

You can make these faux gingerbread ornaments into any shape you would like – gingerbread men, little trees, even gingerbread houses! I can’t wait to make more!
