Fun fun fun (and easy) ornament dough!

I got this recipe from a friend and it is so fun and such a cute idea!   We made thses today and it makes a ton of dough which equals a ton of ornaments to give to family as gifts from Breck!  I also made one of his hand print that turned out cute!! 
Enjoy :)

CINNAMON NO BAKE ORNAMENT RECIPE
1 cup cinnamon
4 Tblsp. White glue (like Elmer's)
3/4 to 1 cup water

Mix together cinnamon, glue, and water. Knead until consistency is that of cookie dough. Add more water if needed (just a little bit at a time) or add more cinnamon if too wet.

Cover and chill for about 1 1/2 hours. Take our of fridge and knead for a few minutes. Place some cinnamon on your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4" to 3/4" thickness.

Simply use cookie cutters or shape the dough into your Christmas design. Use a drinking straw to punch a hole for the ribbon or yarn to hand. Lay your cookie shapes on wax paper and let them air dry for 3 to 4 days. Turn them twice a day to prevent curling.
Paint when dry if you want!
