Step 13

13. Step 1: Begin by heating 1 cup of water in 6our pot. Also, add 2 cups of baking soda and 1 cup of cornstarch and stir.

Step 14

14. Step 2: Over low to medium heat, allow the mixture to heat while stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens.

Step 15

15. Step 3: Once the mixture has thickened to a mashed potato consistency, remove it from the heat and add 15 drops of the Balsam and Cedar Fragrance Oil. Mix. Allow the dough to cool for a few minutes.

Step 16

16. Step 4: While the dough is still warm, not hot. Roll the dough into a ball. Place the ball of dough into a damp dishcloth. Allow the dough to finish cooling.

Step 17

17. Step 5: Once the dough finishes cooling, you will need to roll it out. Sprinkle both the rolling pin and parchment paper with baking soda. Then, place the dough in the center. Roll it to about thickness.

Step 18

18. Step 6: Use the cookie cutter to create trees. We were able to create 3 Christmas trees. However, the number you create will depend on the size of your cookie cutter.

Step 19

19. Step 7: Next, place a hole in the top of each tree using a toothpick. This will allow you to thread the ribbon through the hole.

Step 20

20. Step 8: Now, allow the ornaments to harden. You want them to harden as slowly as possible to prevent cracking. We let ours set overnight. Then, flipped them over to finish drying on the other side.

Step 21

21. Step 9: Finally, add a ribbon to each ornament and a pinecone and berries to each ribbon using hot glue.

Step 22

22. We hope that you enjoy your scented ornaments!
