Looking for a festive way to decorate your tree this year? Check out these DIY cinnamon spice ornaments! They’re simple to make and require just a few ingredients. To make these ornaments, you’ll need: -Cinnamon sticks -Pinch of salt -Wax paper or a piece of parchment paper -Scissors -Ruler or a straight edge -Paintbrush (optional) First, cut the cinnamon sticks into about 1 inch pieces. Then, place them in a small bowl and sprinkle with the pinch of salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes so that they can start to soften. Next, use your scissors to cut the wax paper into small squares or circles. Make sure that the circles are big enough so that the cinnamon sticks fit inside of them without sticking out too much. Once you have all of the circles made, set them aside. Now it’s time to start decorating your tree! First, take one of the cinnamon stick pieces and paint it with some light brown paint if desired. Then, use a ruler or straight edge to draw a line down one side of the stick. Make sure that you go all the way down to the bottom so that your ornament has an even shape. Next, take another cinnamon stick piece and do exactly what you did with the first one - paint it brown and draw a line down one side of it. Do this until all of your sticks are decorated. Once they’re all done, set them aside to dry for about 30 minutes. Once they’re dry, hang them up on your tree using some fishing wire if necessary! ..

How to Make 2-Ingredient Cinnamon Ornaments for Your Christmas Tree
Combine the cinnamon and applesauce to form a soft dough. Roll the rough out. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut shapes in the dough. Transfer the pieces to a baking sheet. Use a straw or toothpick to make holes. Continue this process until you’ve used all of the dough. Allow the ornaments to dry completely. You can leave them on the counter, or pop them in the oven. Run a string of ribbon through the hole, then hang them on your Christmas tree!
