I just love it, I have been looking for this dough for a long time.
A friend from Atlanta,GA makes these and puts them on dried apple wreaths.

We made these for PTA gifts one year for teachers. We added glitter to the mix which gave a nice sparkle to the ornaments. We used a drinking straw to make the hole for the ribbon.
After ornaments dried, we used puffy paint to write the year on them. I still have mine from the mid 1990's! Still smell good!
Use these for garlands too.
I add glue to mine, it helps them not crumble as easily.
What size jars??
My recipe calls for some Elmer's glue,but the dough gets dry too quick.
