| Can you use cinnamon at say, the dollar store?
I could get some there and use that, right?
I think today I may try to make some ornaments using either Baker's Clay or Cornstarch Ornaments.
Corn Starch Cookie Cutter Christmas Ornaments
You will need:
1 cup Corn Starch
2 cups baking soda
1 1/2 cups water
In a large saucepan mix corn starch and baking soda. Add water and stir until smooth. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture is the consistency of slightly dry mashed potatoes. Remove from heat and cover with a damp cloth. When cool enough to handle, coat hands and surface lightly with corn starch and knead until dough is smooth and pliable.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut with holiday cookie cutters. To dry, place on a baking sheet in a 250 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until hard. For best results, allow to cool and brush loose powder off ornaments before painting. Makes about 16-20 ornaments.
And, Baker's Clay is...
Makes 5 cups of dough
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 1/2 cups water
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Mix the flour, salt and water. Knead dough until smooth. Roll out dough and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. Once cool paint with colors, if desired.
I can't wait to try these...I don't have any cookie cutters though, but will use my biscuit cutter instead, just to try it.
