Handmade Cinnamon Ornaments
Every year at Christmastime my boys and I made homemade cinnamon ornaments. They are beautiful handmade gifts for kids to give their grandparents, teachers, neighbors, etc.Cinnamon ornaments are easy to make with just two ingredients, and they smell wonderful. This has become a fun tradition in our home that I hope continues, even when my little guys aren't so little anymore.

made this today and the dough was very wet. I had to add flour to it. I like the idea but the making it was a problem.
