Bake Art Dough
Scented Cinnamon Ornaments
*******************************
Bake-Art Dough
4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
1 cup salt
1 ½ cups water
Blend flour and salt, add water and stir. When water is mixed in, shape dough into a ball. Knead dough about 5 minutes or until texture is smooth and pliable. Add more flour if dough is sticky, add more water is dough is crumbly. Roll dough out on lightly floured surface to 1/8” . Cut out ornaments and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for approx. 20-25 minutes. With spatula remove baked pieces to cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Store unused dough in plastic wrap. Makes approx. 3 dozen shapes.
NOTE: Bake-Art dough is for decorating purposes only such as ornaments and magnets, it is not edible.
TIPS:
To make ornaments, cut a small hole near the top of cut-out design using a straw before baking. Thread with colored ribbon if desired.
After your Bake-Art pieces are cool, decorate with non-toxic paint, glue on decorations and glitter.

4 oz Cinnamon
1 tbsp Cloves
1 tbsp Nutmeg
3/4 cup Applesauce
2 tbsp White glue

In medium bowl, combine cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Add
applesauce and glue; stir to combine. Work mixture with hands 2 to 3
minutes or until dough is smooth and ingredients are thoroughly
mixed. Divide into 4 portions. On floured surface, roll each portion
to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut dough with floured cookie cutters of

If you get a box of gloves (they may need to be latex free) to wear during the mixing process it makes the entire process a bit less messy.
