Potpourri Recipes
Scented Cinnamon Cutouts
Place these anywhere, they are like potpourri!
What you will need:
10 tbsp. hot applesauce
5 oz. cinnamon
Holiday-shaped cutters
Optional - other spices
Method:
1. Other spices may be used too (ginger, allspice, etc.). Mix
together, if dry add more sauce. If wet, add more spice. Makes a
great non-sticky dough. Very workable.
2. Sprinkle work area with spice and rolling pin. Roll dough
1/4" thick. Cut into desired shapes. Holiday shapes, houses,
ginger people, apples, bears, hearts, etc.
For Ornaments: Cut out with a straw a little hole on
top. Place cut outs on a screen. Let dry 6 to 7 days. Almost feels
like driftwood. Paint if you wish. Be creative.
Example: Ginger people. I use white dimensional paint,
looks like icing. Glue ribbon to them, hang them up in a favorite
spot. Glue magnets on back. Personalize ornaments. Use mini
cutters, make gift tags.
