AC Embellished Cookie Cutters Tutorial

Hi everyone,

On Thursday I had a tutorial up on the American Crafts blog on how to make these altered cookie cutters.





























Supplies: Christmas 6X6 Paper Pad (97198) - Patterned Paper; Adhesive Layered Embellishments - Gingermint (366107) - Details, Die Cut Cardstock Shapes - Figgymint (366108) - Bits, Dimensional Stars - Jinglemint (366110)- Remarks, Christmas Sequins and Buttons (95300) - Buttons, Decorated Clothespins - Hollymint (366115) - Whittles, Decorative Tape (95306), Decorative Tape (95305)

The dimensional embellishments in the Peppermint Express collection helped bring these altered cookie cutters to life.  They would make a great neighbor gift paired with cookies, or cute decoration for around the house. 

1. Gather American Crafts supplies and star-shaped cookie cutters.
