#18 - Sparklie Vintage Cookie Cutters
Supplies:
Cookie Cutter (vintage or new)
Glass or Regular Glitter
Thick Glue
Wire
Jingle Bell
Ribbon
Instructions:
1. Punch one or two holes in the top of your cookie cutter. Since I'm using star cookie cutters I punched two holes side by side on a single point of the star.
2. Spread your thick clear drying glue over a couple of the sides.
3. Sprinkle glitter over the glue. Shake off the excess.
4. Continue adding glue and glitter until the entire outside of the cookie cutter has been covered.
5. (optional) If desired you can cover the inside of the cookie cutter with glitter as well. I personally like to leave the grungy vintage silver inside of the cookie cutter showing. I think it adds a bit of personality to the finished ornament.
6. Attach the bells to a jump ring.
7. Thread the wire through one of the holes, add the bell to the wire and thread the wire through the other side. Pinch and twist the wire a few times at the top of the ornament. Your bell will now be suspended in the ornament.
8. Form a hook for hanging the ornament and snip off any excess wire.
9. Add a ribbon and it's ready for hanging!
Enjoy!!
What a neat idea. I never would have thought of that. Leave it to you, and great ideas abound. Thanks.
