Instructions

Directions for each different spice ornament mixture:

  • Mix spices and fill ornaments with mixture using a funnel.  If you are using bigger ornaments than the ones pictured (these are around 2 inches in height and 1 inch diameter) then you will need to make even more spice mix for each ornament to fill them up.  The amount needed will vary depending on the ornaments you use.  If using the 4 inch ornaments I placed a link to... I would triple the spices for each.  The gift tags include exact measurements for making the dips so just make as much needed to fill the ornaments and include the gift tag.  
    Before closing the ornament wrap a small piece of foil at the opening and then put the ornament top back on. The metal wires will puncture through the foil, but should not leave a big hole to where the spices will come through. Shake each ornament a little to see if your foil has a hole... if the contents remain then you are good... if not then repeat the foil process.
  • Place a card with each ornament with the directions on how to make each dip.  I have printable directions in cute gift tag form for your convenience!
