I made cinnamon dough ornaments with the primary aged students for 40 years. 32 years with first graders! In the beginning I used the applesauce/cinnamon mixture. They broke easily and the kids were sad when they did. Eventually I used white school glue and cinnamon. That’s all! Room parents would help my students with these. I let each child make four, every year. So I bought cinnamon (about 5-6 of the big containers of cinnamon at Costco) and a gallon of white school glue. But we needed that much for the 100+ we made each year. For home use it would obviously take much less. To make the dough simply mix glue and cinnamon together to make dough that can be easily rolled out, between two pieces of waxed or parchment paper. The kids would make their “cookies” with 4 different cookie cutter shapes. Be sure to use a straw to poke a hole in the top for hanging. When I finally quit using applesauce and only used glue and cinnamon the ornaments didn’t break after that! EVER! The. Kids would decorate use puff paints, fabric paint and glitter glue. These decorated our classroom tree every year, along with other adorable ornaments they made, or I made for them. Former young students, who now have families of their own, tell me that these cinnamon ornaments are still hung on their trees even now. Because I taught in a small town, I taught many of the children from my former students. They were always so excited to know their children would be making the same cinnamon ornaments they made. Fond memories and a tradition that has carried on. One of my first grade students now teaches in my last classroom and continues with making these ornaments. Our classroom smelled wonderful all month long to help get us in the spirit of Christmas. 🎄

Sugar cookies with icing are my Christmas favs. Or a melting snowman on a sugar cookie. Yum!
Honey's ornament is priceless. Now my dog Micah wants to make one too!

It’s always delightful to watch you work. You’re one of the best crafter’s I watch. Thank you Shannon for sharing your many talents.

Sugar cookies definitely favorites for my family.

The honey portion of your video was so adorable.

[dianewilson]

I love the idea of the cinnamon clay! And I'm a gingerbread girl all the way! ❤❤🇨🇦🎄🎄🎄🎄

[catalinawoody]

The star garland with fairy lights is so cute and a great idea.

[barbaradigennaro]

I love that you involve Honey they are so much a part of the family. She is so adorable. I love cookies but I would choose a sugar cookie. Love the dry clay ideas. It was the first I heard of this as I'm new at crafting. Have a blessed week. 🍪🍪

My favorite is the cinnamon one. I’m going to make some with my grandkids. Thank you.

[kathylenhart]

Wow. Just made air dry mitten ornaments let week for all the grandkids 😊 Love the star garland with lights and the cinnamon too! Cookies? I'm not picky. 😂 Yearly tradition cookie making started with my granddaughter at 8 yrs old. She's now 22 and still coming for our holiday tradition.

Sugar cookies, especially making them with my mom who passed from Covid -19 on December 23rd, 2020. I also have very fond memories of making a LOT of gingerbread cookies one Christmas season with a dear friend who passed away last year. Great remembrances of both. ❤

[MrsAlmaTrumble]

I'm a cookie snob. I'll eat any kind of cookies. I've been watching you 5+ years and I've said this a few times, but your creativity always blows my mind.

[genv]

It's a tie for me, I make awesome sugar cookies & gingerbread ones too. Both are sooo good.
Also how funny this video comes out today, I've been decorating my fake sugar cookie ornaments I made out of clay the last couple days for my gingerbread/baking themed tree. Perfect timing!!

[GailClendenen]

I love iced sugar cookies! 😋 And my favorite craft is the star garland, so pretty! ⭐

[barbarajenkins]

Too many favorites! I suppose they the cinnamon clay is number 1 for me.❤

[sondrasix]

I like both cookies also. Probably sugar cookies. Love the ornaments. I couldn’t possibly tell which one. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[grammysagmoe]

Love using clay! Going to try the Cinnamon & white glue to make ornaments this year.

[samanthabrakefield]

Gingerbread! I make them every year in all the traditional shapes and give them to friends. Of course, I make some for my family too. I love decorating them with my daughters. This year, we're going to make your cinnamon dough ornaments. Pretty sure my kids have made them but I haven't!
