Cookie Cutter Ornaments
Materials
Needed:
* Metal
cutters of your choice
* Tulle or pretty lace sized to
fit both sides of cookie cutter
* Ribbon or fabric that will fit
the sides of the cookie cutter, it doesn't have to cover the entire
side,
just
enough to cover the spot where the tulle or lace will meet
* Potpourri in your choice of
scent. Peppermint or a holiday spice variety is nice though
* Long needle with a good sized
eye
* Thin silver braid or
embroidery floss to make a hanger
* Hot glue gun and glue sticks
* Decorative items such as holly
leaves if desired
Cut two
pieces of tulle or
lace big enough to cover the front and back of the cookie cutter and at
least
half way up/down the sides
Use the
glue gun to attach one
piece of the tulle/lace to the bottom of the cookie cutter, making sure
the
material is tight
Fill the
cookie cutter with
potpourri as tightly as possible
Carefully
glue the second
piece of tulle/lace to the top of the cookie cutter making sure the
material is
tight
Glue the
ribbon or fabric to
the edges, covering the spot where the two pieces of tulle/lace meet
Use the
needle to run the
braid or whatever you've chosen to use for a hanger through the top of
the
cookie cutter and the potpourri
Add
decorative trims as
desired
