Star Wars Cinnamon Dough OrnamentsThe boys and I got crafty a few weeks ago making something fun that has left the house smelling divine! Cinnamon dough (also sometimes called cinnamon applesauce) ornaments are SO easy to make and smell sooooooo good! I’d never made cinnamon dough ornaments before, but was inspired when my friend Sara at Clever Pink Pirate did. Given the boys’ love of all things Star Wars and since we have some awesome Star Wars cookie cutters, I knew they would LOVE it if we made some Star Wars ornaments! Needless to say, they were a huge hit! DIY Star Wars OrnamentsAren’t they fun?! And yes, that is an X-Wing Starfighter in our tree! Hahaha! This is a GREAT kids’ craft! The dough only is just TWO ingredients! That’s it!! And, the process is SO easy! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

3/4 C Applesauce
1 C Cinnamon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and applesauce. Stir until well-combined, use hands to roll the dough into a ball. *If the dough is too wet & sticky, add more cinnamon (and vice versa if the dough is too dry & won’t come together).
Transfer the dough to a silpat or piece of parchment paper sprinkled with cinnamon.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness.  Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your rolling pin & the top of the dough to avoid sticking.

Making Star Wars OrnamentsI was SO surprised at how easy this was and how great the finished product came out. One batch of dough yielded us A LOT of ornaments (as you can see in that photo above) – perfect for giving as gifts to friends! And, the smell of these ornaments while they’re baking (and even afterward) diffuses through the whole house! YUM! They’ve held up really well too! So, these were definitely a BIG hit and I think we’ll be making them every year! Homemade Star Wars OrnamentsHave YOU made cinnamon dough ornaments before?

  1. These are awesome! We have those same cookie cutters but usually use them with play dough. We’ll have to try these too! We have made cinnamon dough ornaments before, but only in Christmas shapes. My kids have a Star Wars-themed tree this year…these would make a great addition!

  2. I love these! Where did you find those cutters? I wish I had time to make them before christmas. My brothers girlfriend loves star wars and these would be perfect.

  3. These are fantastic, my boys would love these ornaments. Our whole tree is full of movie ornaments and about half of them are Star Wars. Stopping by from Meetup Monday and hope you join us for Small Victories Sunday Linkup going on all week long.
