Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the scent of your ornaments, consider adding a few drops of essential oil, like clove or orange, to the mixture. If you don't have applesauce, pureed fruit or yogurt can be used as a substitute. For a more festive look, you can sprinkle glitter on the ornaments before they dry, giving them a sparkling finish. Always ensure the glue is non-toxic, especially if children are involved.

Storage & Reheating
Store your cinnamon ornaments in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting them. If you want to preserve their scent for longer, keep them in an airtight container.
