Christmas Pillowcases

This year I am making Christmas Pillowcases for gifts. This would be a great idea for Hanukkah as well. I bought $2 a yard plaids from Wal-Mart, they are 100 % cotton and colorful, and made each family member a pillowcase that can be used during the holidays. It takes about a yard to make a pillowcase.

Cinnamon Ornament Clay

This clay makes the most wonderful smelling ornaments, package decorations, and are a great gift.

• 1 ˝ cups ground cinnamon
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1/3 cup white school glue (Elmer’s works well)

Mix ingredients. Remove from mixing bowl and knead until you have a nice firm clay. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes. Dust work surface, rolling pin and hands with cinnamon. Roll clay out till 1/8 inch thick. Use cutters to cut out desired shapes. Use a straw to make a perfect hole for tying a ribbon through when dry. Turn them occasionally to dry evenly and flat. Takes about 4 - 5 days.
