Dough Recipes




Cinnamon-Applesauce Ornaments

CRAFTY CORNER CINNAMON DOUGH BASKETS (Use this link to recieve recipes like this in your email box!)  Use your favorite cinnamon dough recipe as long as it includes tacky glue. Place about 1/2 cup of the dough, shaped into a ball, on a large piece of plastic wrap. Cover with another piece of the wrap and roll out into a somewhat circular shape about 1/8 inches thick and about 8 to 10 inches in circumference. Place a drinking glass, pint jar, or anything circular for the shape/size you want the basket to be (as long as it's glass) upside down on a cookie sheet. Spray it VERY LIGHTLY with a cooking spray, such as PAM. Remove the top piece of plastic wrap, pick up the dough using the bottom piece to handle it and place it centered over the bottom of the glass or jar. Let the dough drape naturally around the jar. Place cookie sheet in an oven preheated to 150ºF, and bake with the oven door ajar for approximately 3 hours. Let cool; remove from jar and decorate. Fill with spiced apple potpourri, a couple of dried apple slices, cinnamon stick, and a raffia bow around the basket.

Use Your Imagination When Gift Wrapping
=========================================================
Use scrap yarn.
Braid or coil it and use it instead of ribbon to decorate a package.
Raffia is anothe option for decorating gifts.
Both are very appropriate when wrapping gift for men.

Do you have unused leftover wall paper?
Use it to wrap gifts. It is a great way to get rid of it while
showing originality in you gift wrapping.

Do you have unused leftover fabric?
Use scraps of fabric to gift wrap cylindrical gifts.

Add little extras to your gift by putting little trinkets as package
toppers.
For a wedding or a house warming you may add measuring spoons or seed
packets,

Use paper dollies and some ribbon, silk or a bow for the center of
the package.
You may also cut the dollies in quarters and glue each quarter to a
corner of your gift package.
This tip comes from a-weddingday.com

You can find a gift idea for almost anyone in our list of 101 Gift Baskets. We've tried to be innovative and get away from the usual fruit basket arrangement. Many of the baskets are designed around themes and some don't even use baskets at all!

Send your favourite tea drinker a bag of their special tea in this teapot shaped gift. After drinking the tea, the teapot becomes a fridge magnet. Click here for step by step instructions!
