Try this recipe from Mrs. Stewart's Bluing:

The crystals form quite rapidly.
You definitely should use the ammonia. When I've done this in the
classroom, I just mix up the solution in a big plastic bottle and keep
shaking it up.
I give each student a disposable cup with some crumpled up paper towel
inside and pour the crystal solution in.
Good luck!
