Old World Christmas Ornaments & Great Holiday Stuff

They are cookie cutter hearts and houses. Their top surface is very gently rounded, almost flat, and they are about half an inch thick and an even light brown colour. They have a hole with ribbon through to hang in the tree. They definitely look like they are made of foodstuff and not craft clay or anything, yet they are not salt dough and they have not been glazed or varnished. They have not deteriorated in 15 years and not been attacked by biscuit beetle or bugs. I keep them in a glass jar. There is royal icing piping on them in patterns of snow flakes and dots and swirls. They came in cellophane bags when I bought them AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE, THE CELLO BAGS WENT YELLOW, HARD AND CRACKED AND SELF DESTRUCTED AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS, so I put them in fresh cello bags every few years. I would love to make some more. The labels came off them years ago and got lost. I bought them in a department store. They are about 5 inches across.
Dear ViSaja
I clicked on the link, thank you. In Australia, white glue that is used in school by kids, is called KLAG. I suppose it would be equal to Elmer’s. After reading your answer, I bit the bullet and went to the jar and with trepidation, tongued one of the hearts. No taste of salt at all, could taste flour, and had aftertaste of maybe GLUE. I will try the recipe, thank you. After I wash my mouth out!!!!
Joanne, thank you for your link. I joined that site.
