A Christmas Craft!

I don't really consider myself an experienced crafter, by any means. However, around the holidays I usually find myself littering my floors with paper snowflake bits and trying to get rubber cement out of my hair. I don't know what it is about Christmas but the Martha within usually starts to rear her ugly head by the middle of December. . . Anyways, I wanted to share these pretty cinnamon birds because I was really pleased with how they turned out.
It is, in fact, a Martha Stewart craft. However, it's not actually that hard to execute, unlike other Martha crafts I've attempted. You just throw together the dough, cut out the birds, let 'em dry for a few days, and then get wild with glitter. The end result smells wonderful and looks gorgeous. I gave these as gifts though I wish I would have made a few more for myself!
There are a few notes I have though. Either the cinnamon I had was extra dry, or the recipe is way off. I had to double the glue and just keep adding apple sauce til it came together. I would recommend making it in a Kitchen Aid mixer too, if you have one available. Also I made mine a little thicker for stability so it  took longer for it to dry. Oh and I used rubber cement and q-tips instead of craft glue. Other than that it's pretty simple! Woo!!
