We created the perfect DIY Christmas Ornament tutorial for crafty canners. This scented glue dough recipe combines the traditional holiday scent and mason jar rings. It's a great way to use rusty canning rings you may have laying around. And it's also a perfect craft to make with kids. Just mix the dough and mold it around canning rings to create scented wreath ornaments. These scented Christmas ornaments make great holiday gifts. Decorate your Christmas tree or garland with these festive-scented ornaments too.
