EDIBLE - Gingerbread Ornaments

Use a cookie cutter or cardboard pattern, trace onto gingerbread dough with sharp pointy paring knife.  With a plastic drinking straw, pierce a hole in the top of each in the center and bake.  After cooled, put a ribbon through the hole, tie to make a hanging loop.  Decorate with icing and small candies.  Hang on the Christmas tree, but don't be surprised if a few disappear.

Decorative (DO NOT EAT) - Gingerbread Ornaments

Use a cookie cutter or cardboard pattern, trace onto gingerbread dough with sharp pointy paring knife.  With a plastic drinking straw, pierce a hole in the top of each in the center and bake.  After cooled, put a ribbon through the hole, tie to make a hanging loop.  If you would like the gingerbread ornaments to last for years and be for looks only, coat with varnish or a spray craft finish and when dry paint.  To store, pack in several layers of clear newsprint in a moisture proof container.
