Although cookie cutters are best known for their work in the kitchen, these fun-shaped baking utensils can also play a role in decorating your family's Christmas tree.
- Materials
- 3-foot length of 18-gauge gold-colored craft wire
- Pencil
- Star-shaped cookie cutter
- Wire cutters
- 20-to 24-gauge colored lightweight wire
- Ribbon
Instructions
To make an ornament like the one here, wrap one end of a 3-foot length of 18-gauge gold-colored craft wire around a pencil to form a hanging loop. With the loop at the top of a star cookie cutter, press the wire twice around the perimeter of the cookie cutter to form a star shape, twisting it around the hanging loop and using wire cutters (a parent's job) to snip off any excess. Remove the cutter.- Now your child can complete the ornament by wrapping the wire outline with lengths of 20-to 24-gauge colored lightweight wire, securing the ends in place by wrapping them around the cookie cutter outline.
- Finally, tie a hanging ribbon to the loop, and your ornament is ready for display.
