Charming Apple Ornament

This little ornament was the craft at our annual Holiday Workshop and Tea Party this year. Once the apples were dehydrated this fragrant decoration was a cinch to glue together.
Slice the apples thick to dry them. We used a dehydrator but you can do it in the oven as well. In the oven it takes about 6 hours at 150 degrees, crack the oven door a bit. We first soak the apples in lemon lime soda to keep them from turning brown. Then cut the apple pieces in half and hot glue the halves to a cinnamon stick, fill in along the middle or the inside pieces of the apple with some cloves and dried cranberries. A piece of ribbon to hang the ornament up and just like that you are done!
