Molded Cinnamon Salt Dough Ornaments Recipe & Tutorial | Christmas Crafts | Miss Mustard Seed
I made these molded ornaments out of cinnamon salt dough (a faux gingerbread) as just a way to use up extra dough when I was making salt dough gingerbread houses, but this experiment was the real winner! I love how they turned out, so I made them again to film a quick tutorial. They are super easy to make and can be used for many years. They would also make great gifts.
Recipe -
1 cup all-purpose flour (plus a little more for dusting and if flour is too wet)
1/2 cup table salt
3/4 cup ground cinnamon
3/4 cup of water (plus a little more, if dough is too crumbly)
Mix together all ingredients until they are combined. Dump onto a lightly floured surface and knead. Add more water or flour 1 teaspoon at a time until dough holds together when squeezed in your fist.
Press into a mold with your hand and cut off extra with a bench scraper (or a knife.) Gently lift dough out of the mold and put on a baking sheet. Poke a hole at the top of each ornament.
Bake at 200 degrees for 30 minutes with the tops facing up, then turn over and cook for another 30 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack. Thread ribbon or twine through the hole with a tapestry needle.

How to Make and Decorate Old Fashioned Cinnamon Holiday Ornaments (No Bake Recipe)
Today we’re going to show you how we made and decorated beautiful no-bake old cinnamon ornaments. These easy to make DIY holiday ornaments are made from mostly food items but ARE NOT EDIBLE! Though they will be fragrant and beautiful for years to come, these crafts are not snacks. This project is easy to follow along with and perfectly appropriate for children, with supervision. Instructions are below, as well as the recipe for our easy no bake cinnamon ornaments.
We used a le fleur de lis shaped cookie cutter and small geometric cookie cutters to create out ornament shapes, you can get your own here:
cutters with geometric shapes:
The above cookie cutters are pretty neat, but any cookie cutters you have at home will do!
Instructions:
Gather your ingredients. For this old fashioned cinnamon ornament recipe you’ll need 1 cup ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg (or ground cloves), ¾ cup apple sauce, and 2 tablespoons white glue.
Mix all your ingredients together in a larger bowl until married together completely.
Use a mat or cookie sheet as your rolling surface, dust your surface with cinnamon to keep it from sticking.
Use a rolling pin to flatten your dough to ¼”-½” thickness.
Decide which cookie cutters you’ll be using, and start cutting your shapes from the dough. Fit in as many shapes as you can.
Carefully remove the dough from outside of your cut shapes with clay tools, a chopstick, or a small spoon.
Collect the dough on the side of your work area, form another dough ball with it when you’re through removing the extras from around the 1st set of ornaments.
Use a flexible plastic straw to create holes at the top of your ornaments, so we can feed ribbon through them later. Twist the straw around in order to get the dough to release from the hole you have created.
Repeat steps 3-7 again, creating more ornaments until you run out of dough.
Allow your ornaments to air dry for 2-3 days, flip them over after a day to be sure they’re dried on both sides.
Decorate your ornaments however you like, we chose holiday colors and glitter glue. You could use sequins, glue/glitter, puffy paint or anything else you’d like to decorate these fragrant and festive holiday ornaments.
We were able to create several large and small ornaments with this simple old fashioned cinnamon ornament recipe. We hope this easy DIY holiday cinnamon ornament project is as fun for you as it was for us, it’s appropriate for adults as well as kids and easy to make. These pretty ornaments make great gifts or decorations, store them well to have fragrant ornaments for years to come.
