Here is the recipe for the ornaments you gave , I had it and they make such cool things for the children to do, hope this helps..
APPLESAUCE - CINNAMON ORNAMENTS
2 lbs. cinnamon
70 oz. jar applesauce
4 oz. Elmer's glue
Place cinnamon in large bowl. Add glue and gradually add enough applesauce to get a slightly firm dough. Roll out to 3/8" to 1/2". Cut out with cookie cutters. Use a straw to make a hole in top of ornament for ribbon. Let dry at room temperature or bake at 200 degrees for 1 hour and then let dry completely.
