View Full Version : Christmas Ornaments Administrator 11-22-2005, 09:09 AM Have yall every made ornaments before? I'm in an ornament exchange and the girl I have is very into Breastfeeding, so i was hoping to find an ornament/figurine of a woman holding a baby as if she was BFing. I have yet to find anything, so I think I'll make a blay one and paint it. Hope she likes it.... Any other ideas on how to make fun ornaments? mommytoMakayla 11-23-2005, 08:16 AM I have never made any orderments before, but it sounds like fun. Michael's in Santa Rose has alot of Christmas crafts.:) dacotahsgirl 11-23-2005, 08:51 AM I've never done it before, but am going to do it today, with an easy recipe! :D dacotahsgirl 11-23-2005, 09:21 AM Ok, here is one of the recipes I have! :thumbup: 4 oz Cinnamon 1 Cup Applesauce 1 TBSP Nutmeg 1 TBSP Ground Cloves 1 TBSP White Glue Mix applesauce with ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and glue to form a stiff dough. Roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutter. Make hole for ribbon hanger. Carefully put on rack to dry. Let air dry several days, turning occasionally. Makes 12 sweet smelling ornaments. Here's another!! 2 cups flour 1 cup salt 1/2 cup water mix to a dough, knead. Roll out, cut out. Bake again 225 for 50-60 minutes. Decorate afterwards Oh, and for both, take a straw for a punch out for the ribbon! mommytoMakayla 11-26-2005, 06:49 PM Those are neat recipes. I will have to try it! dacotahsgirl 11-27-2005, 02:10 PM I made them yesterday, and they were lots of fun!! :D Administrator 11-27-2005, 04:38 PM You'll have to tell me how they turn out. I really need to get off my tukus and make that ornament for my ornament exchange, but I'm just too darn lazy dacotahsgirl 11-28-2005, 10:06 AM they turned out great, and were lots of fun to decorate!~ You should try it! mommytoMakayla 12-13-2005, 02:35 PM My 3 year old niece came to spend the night with us and we made the Christmas Orndaments.
