Holiday Tree Ornaments
What you need ::
1 cup applesauce
1 cup ground cinnamon
15 drops Christmas Spirit or Light the Fire essential oil
Decorative string or ribbon
Directions ::
In a bowl, combine the applesauce and cinnamon. You want the dough to be able to form a ball without being too sticky. Add additional applesauce or cinnamon if needed. Sprinkle a clean surface with cinnamon. Place the dough on the surface and sprinkle with more cinnamon. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to ¼ inch think, sprinkling with more cinnamon to keep from sticking. Cut out into desired shapes and place on a sheet pan so that they aren’t touching. Use a skewer to poke a hole into each ornament (to attach string). Bake at 200 degrees for 1.5-2 hours or until rock hard. Loop a decorative string through the ornament and hang on your tree.
Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe lip balm
What you need ::
2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons shea butter
1 tsp cocoa
36 drops Peppermint essential oil
12 lip balm containers
Directions ::
Melt beeswax in a small pan or crockpot over low heat. Add coconut oil, cocoa, peppermint eo, and shea butter until all ingredients are just melted. Using a small medicinal dropper, pour the melted liquid into your lip balm containers. Add a few extra drops to the top after filling each container as the ingredients will shrink as they cool.
