Welcome to day 5 of our Winter Wonderland Event! I can’t believe there are still 7 more days of inspiration and FUN projects to share after today.
The other day I found a package of metal star-shaped cookie cutters in the baking section of the craft store, and I thought I could do something fun with them. There were four stars in the package stacked together, in all different sizes. The Snow Day line is perfect for dressing them up to create a few fun ornaments this year! These ornaments can hang on the Christmas tree, or just set on a shelf for the winter. These can be backed with patterned papers, die cuts or even photos!
To create these, I traced the stars onto patterned paper, cut the paper out, and adhered it to the back of the cookie cutter with a hot glue gun. On the largest star, I used the Cozy Sweaters Paper (chevron pattern) and I trimmed the wooden snowflake down to fit inside the cookie cutter. To keep it in place I add hot glue in the center of the star then I brushed it with white paint. Pom pom trim adds a “snowy” feel around the outside of the ornament, along with some Diamond Dust glitter! Don’t forget to wrap some twine around the top of the stars for hanging. Or you can tie the twine in a bow if you’d like to set them on a table instead.
On the second ornament, I used the blue striped paper in the background, added some Snow Day die ephemera tags inside the star, a Snow Day 3D sticker and more pom pom trim and glitter.
The third ornament is backed with a photo of my girls with their snowman! I added a 3D mitten sticker on the outside, pom pom trim and glitter again.
To dress up the top, I added a little “winter” ephemera tag.
The smallest ornament is backed with the round Snow Day Ephemera die cut, wrapped with creme pom pom trim, and then I added some glitter and pink pom poms with a hot glue gun.
These are very simple to make and would add a nice display for the winter!

I haven’t tried using any kitchen items for an altered project–yet! This one though may be the first because I like the fact its not too kitchen looking!
I love, love, love those cookie cutters. Why haven’t I come up with that?
I used heart cookie cutters with a recipe and love poem to give out to all our wedding guests as a thank you.
Thank you for the downloads for this cute project! I have decorated cookie cutters for ornaments but that was many years ago so thank you for the reminder and refresher!
Love what was done with the cookie cutters. I am always seeing these on sale and never thought to do this. Would definately like to try it. I’ve never used any kitchen items in any kind of altered art before but I think that is going to change now that i’ve seen this post. Thanks for sharing the inspiration. Merry Christmas.
I haven’t used cookie cutters for things that are not edible but seeing those ornaments I am going to look for some Christmas ones after Christmas and put that on my list for gifts next year.
It never even occur to me to use cookie cutters in such way:-) I altered kitchen jars and made dolls from wooden spoons:-) But cookie cutters… Thank you for the idea and the inspiration!
I’m really enjoying the inspiration and the downloads – thank you! I haven’t used anything like that (yet) as I love to use them for baking!!
Cannot say that I have use a cookie cutter in a craft project.
I used a cute rounded cutting board to create a mixed media wall hanging for my mom for her kitchen. It said “Homemade by Mom” on it! These cookie cutters are so fun!
Those ornaments are darling. What a great idea…I have never used cookie cutters for an altered item before.
Another fabulous idea !! I don’t think I’ve ever used a kitchen tool, but I’ve used reynolds wrap on a scrapbook page before – that’s about it…not as creative as you folks!
Oh my gosh what a fabulous idea!!! I’ve never used anything from my kitchen in a project (unless you count using plates to make circles, lol), but this definitely inspires me to go looking!
- April W
These are adorable! Very creative. I do not have big cookie cutters, but I will be surfing the thrift shops for them now!
So cute! I’ve made ornaments from cookie cutters backing them with the kids’ pictures! Loved seeing the different ways this concept was used!
I love your project!
No I have never altered a kitchen item before but now the wheels are turning.
Dani, these are adorable. Love th idea. I did use cookie cutters to make candles long time ago.
Great little ornaments!! I have used my cookie cutters to cut out Fimo (or other similar clay products) to make embellishments for my scrapbooking pages. I cut some snowflake “cookies” out and used them on my advent calendar recently. I think it could work too if you used little gingerbread men and brownish clay.
I once used a tiny whip on a mini album of family recipes. I did buy a cookie cutter but have yet to use it.
never, but i love the idea…
I have used a lot of vintage pieces in a Tim Holtz painters tray for my kitchen wall. It took a lot of time collecting them call from several antique stores but it was a ton of fun.
OMGravy…such a fun and festive project!!! Definately giving this one a try SOON!!! I really like how a fun cookie cutter can add “just the right touch” to a package/gift when tied on with twine!!
I have used cookie cutters ask gift tags in Christmases past. They look so cute on the tree after the recipient has opened their gift!
Very cute project! I have never tried anything like it before.
I’ve used cookie cutters as templates, but never as an altered item. Love the idea and want to make some as ornaments.
ooo! such great idea! Perfect for a baking friend as a gift! I have never used a kitchen item in crafting,,, but now I want to see what I could come up with!
I’ve never used anything from the kitchen in my projects, but after seeing these adorable star ornaments, I might just have to change that!
What a fun idea! I haven’t used cookie cutters before, but I’ve been seeing so many fun projects that I’m thinking I need to get to it!
I’ve created ornaments out of mini cookie cutters in the past. Once my kids get older I hope to pass the fun onto them.
No, I haven’t, but it’s a great idea!
I haven’t yet, but I may try these!!
These cookie cutters are just so adorable!! I can’t wait to get a couple and start filling them!! I have not used cookie cutters before, but I have done a spoon!
I have never used ornaments for any crafting, other than baking lol, before…but these are adorable! I am definitely going to make some as gift toppers! Thanks for the fun tutorial and the chance for some goodies!
I haven’t ever thought to use cookie cutters in a project. These are great ideas today! Thanks for sharing!
I love tying little mini cookie cutters onto gift packages as accents!
I love today’s projects! No I have never used anything from the kitchen in my craft projects but now I will have to give it a go:)
what a great idea, Dani!! nope, haven’t ever used cookie cutters in a craft project except with baking projects.
I’ve never done an altered art project. This is the first time I’ve seen your website. I found it through a link on Scrapbook Update. I’m just starting to explore the possibilities of inking, spray misting, etc. I’m excited to explore the tips & techniques on your website.
I have used cookie cutters to use as ornaments on a christmas tree in the kitchen.

I haven’t used cookie cutters or any other kitchen items in my crafting……YET. The cookie cutter ornaments are so cute. I might have to try.
I have not used a cookie cutter in my crafts-I collect them and would hate to give any of them up..lol
I’ve used little tiny cookie cutters on a small tree in my kitchen. I just tie red/white ribbon around the top and hang them on the tree. And I’ve used a cookie cutter as a “tag” on the outside of a jar of cookie ingredients (did the paper on the back like you did on the ornaments).
Love the decorations – especially all the glitter!
What a beautiful project! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I filled a small whisk with Hershey’s Kisses and I’m making tags that say We Whisk you a Merry Kissmas.
Brilliant idea. No, I have never used a cookie cutter in altered projects but I think maybe I should after seeing these beauties! Thanks!
Such a great idea to use cookie cutters to create ornaments! I have used the bag that tomatoes came in on ATC’s to add an interesting texture. Thanks for the inspiration and chance to win.

GORgeous project! And no, I have never used a cookie cutter, but I definitely might now with that kind of wonderful inspiration!
Mini, shaped shadow boxes! How cute. The only kitchen item I’ve ever altered (if you can call it altered) is a small painted Russian teaspoon. I drilled a hole in the handle to hang on the Christmas tree. It’s a little reminder of a wonderful trip and some great friends.
Yes, I used thin foil to make tags, including Christmas tags too! I love how you did with the star shaped cookies cutter, awesome idea! Thank you for sharing!
I like to think of different and interesting present toppers at Christmas. A cookie cutter with some twine around a gift wrapped in craft paper and stamped!!! Looks nice and its a little extra something for my friends and family. LOVE todays idea!!! This will be a perfect ornament/ gift for my new niece.
I have never tried anything like this, but I’m going to make one of these this year!
I haven’t ever used a cookie cutter in one of my altered art projects, but after today’s post, I might have to!

I’ve never used a cookie cutter for anything but cookies – but often thought about making ornaments, A’s they look so cool!
I haven’t used cookie cutters for projects…but you have just opened another door for me! Thanks for the fun!
These are amazing! No I have never used cookie cutters for anything crafty but what great inspiration here!
No, I haven’t…but I LOVE these and want to try it!!!! I think I may have seen some cookie cutters in Target’s dollar bins….hmmmm, need to get some! Thanks for sharing!
I have used tea-bag strings and tags on a layout before, about tea parties with my girlfriend and our kids!
Awesome tutorial ♥
I am currently making gift boxes so the boxes my coffee comes in.
I decorated them with patterned papers and embellishment ♥
Very cute! I may use mine after baking cookies
What a cute idea! I love your little cookie cutters. The only kitchen product I’ve ever used in a craft project was a plastic fork that I painted and glued a few buttons to and then attached to a recipe tin I created.
Super cool idea !! I have used cookie cutters on gifts , for the holidays.
The cookie cutters are really cute! I have used a baking sheet to make a couple advent calendars for Christmas presents!
love the cookie cutters! I have used many kitchen items in my crafting including tin foil on layouts, various kitchen tools to create distressing on my paper, and before you could buy beautiful twine I used the plain twine that you tie up a turkey with on my projects.
ohhh such a fun idea!!! I’ve used a baking sheet to make an advent calender, but never cookie cutters!!! what a cool idea
HAVE YOU EVER USED A COOKIE CUTTER OR ANY OTHER KITCHEN ITEM IN YOUR ALTERED ART PROJECTS? I have and I made a fun mini album a couple years ago!! I used the cookie cutter for the cover and then cut the pages to match the shape!! I also used mini cookie cutters one year for fun little ornament and added my son’s photo~they are put up everyyear at both grandma’s trees!!
THANKS for sharing I LOVE them and the fun background decorations!!
Have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
The ornaments are lovely! I never think to use anything out of my kitchen. Might have to try this
Awesome idea! the only kitchen items i’ve used have been a cookie sheet advent calendar, and toothpicks to make little flags
They work wonders on my pages! Thanks sharing!
Loveeee this cookie cutter idea!! I love the shawdow box effect of them, so perfect for cut holiday embellishments. I have only used my cookie cutters as a template beforw. I traced gingerbread cutters to make gift tags foe my children’s teachers last year. Thanks again for all the beautiful inspiration, and the chance to win some goodies
I love these! Such a cute idea!
Now I wanna go grab the tree cookie cutters I have and make something fun! lol
As for making something already… humm I don’t think so. I’ve made stuff FOR the kitchen just not stuff OUT OF kitchen items lol
Wow! These are great! I think they would make great gifts! I am definately making these!
Very cute Dani! I’ve only used a cookie sheet for an advent calendar. I’ve never used cookie cutters! Fun idea.
Adorable project! I love the Snowy Day collection & the snowflake is my favorite.
Have never used cookie cutters for altered art, but these sure are Inspiring!!
I don’t think I’ve ever used a kitchen tool in an altered project, unless tin foil counts? But I love the idea of the cookie cutter ornaments! These are really cute
I use a tree cookie cutter to trace and cut for a project, and also sprayed some mist inside the shape for an almost stamp effect.
I have not, but now that I’ve seen this project, I think I’m going to pick up the copper cutters I saw at our local Dillons and use these as tags for a teacher gift project!
I LOVE these ornaments; so CUTE!!! I have several cookie cutters as ornaments for my kitchen/family room christmas tree but they are just hung with ribbons- not as adorable as the ones today! plus I love all the variations you shared! thanks so much!!! I am running right out to joanns to pick up the cookie cutters! and then the scrapbook store to pick up some pp and embellishments for Snow Day paper line! CANT wait to make up a bunch of these for this years give away ornaments!!
Besides canning jars in numerous projects, I used big white plates and vinyl to make erasable memo boards. I’m going to have to try some of these cute cookie cutter ornaments.
I once took a class at a scrapbook convention where we used a cookie cutter sheet to make a magnent board. It was supercute!
I haven’t tried making a project with a cookie cutter, but I love the idea! I just might try it out now that I saw your awesome project.
I’ve used wooden spoons to make dress-up ‘dolls’ for my girls when they were little. They loved adding faces and hair to the spoon dolls.
No, I have never thought of using a cookie cutter. These ornaments are really cute!! I love lighter colors used on these. Thanks for the great idea!! And thanks for the chance to win
I am off to the dollar store to see if I can pick up some cookies cutters! Thanks for the beautiful inspiration!
The only time we used cookie cutters for artistic reasons was for Play Doh! I love the mittens……tooo cute!
I use cookie cutters all the time to create perfect shapes for my cards — hearts, scallops, animal shapes. I don’t have a die-cut machine so this is the poor (wo)man’s way of die cutting. LOL
Thanks for the chance to win.
What a cute idea! I love the added pictures!
Hmmm, I haven’t used my cookie cutters for crafting – at least not since the kids were little and playdoh was everywhere! Now, I think I need to dig them out and look at them in a whole new way.
Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win.
When my daughter was in Kindergarten we used cookie cutters to make candy cane cinnamon ornaments for gifts for the children to give their parents and it is still one of my most cherished ornament to this day!
beautiful ideas , this is so much fun ! i haven’t used cookies cutters before … but i will being heading to the store to make these .
I’ve never used cookie cutters as embellishments, but I was once given a gift where they filled the cookie cutter with chocolate. You ate the chocolate and then saved the cookie cutter for use later.
I have used cookie cutters, wooden spoons, whisks etc to decorate packages, but never thought of decorating them ,:) Thanks for the idea. My mind is brainstorming now!!
I’ve used a bottle cap and made a tree ornament, it’s cute and I plan to make more. I love your cookie cutter ornaments, they are adorable.
I used my shamrock cookie cutters to make St Paddy’s day invites! Thanks for the inspiration and the chance to win.
THIS IS SUCH A SWEET ORNAMENT!! I HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW TO AND PICK UP SOME COOKIE CUTTERS!! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION.
I haven’t try this but I definitely going to give it a try! I love the cookie cutter ornament that you did, wonderfully done!
I have never used a cookie cutter on a crafty project. But.. I’m going to now! Love Love Love those ornaments! Darling!!!
I haven’t, but I love the idea!! I think they’d look cute in a shadow box or artist’s tray or something!!
Wow! So cute!
I used a rolling pin on a Cuttlebug folder to emboss the edges of a 12X12 cardstock, but that’s about it.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Okay – this is genius! I’ve never used anything like it to create an altered project but I certainly love these stars. Great project!
Who would have ever thought of cookie cutters as decorations? They are soooooo pretty.
No I haven’t, but I did buy several gingerbread men shaped cookie cutters, guess I’ll go dig those guys out to use! Thanks for sharing!
I have used cookie cutters to make birdseed ornaments before but otherwise have only used them to make cookies. Cute idea! Thanks.
Congrats, Valerie!!
I haven’t used cookie cutters for anything but making cookies, but I did use an onion mesh bag as textured ‘hemp’ on a page, and I painted straws and created a frame for a photo! Thanks again for these ongoing cute downloads!
I have not used a cookie cutter on an altered project.I have used them to cut die cut shapes for a scrapbook page. I love what you did with those cookie cutters. maybe I should try an altered project.
I love all of your projects. The paper lines from this company are always my favorites!
These would be so cool to give as a gift for a teacher!
Oh my goodness, all the downloads are so cute! Thanks so much! I made a cookie cutter wreath a long time ago!
I’m going to have to get the kiddos involved in this project! I think it looks like fun and they would have a blast!
Now I am on the hunt for a silver snowflake cookie cutter! These are so precious!
Awesome inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win!
What a sweet project! When I created family recipe scrapbooks, I used tiny measuring spoons as an embellishment
Can’t say I’ve used kitchen items for anything (not even cooking)! LoL…just kidding, great idea though!
Cute! I have never done anything like that before but I am going to have to make a couple of those!!!
Just perfect! So cute. Love the colors! I don’t think I have ever done this.
I have never used a kitchen item in any art projects, but love the idea. Thanks for sharing!
I haven’t altered any kitchen items but I love the idea of decorating the cookie cutters. It would be a great way to make a banner!
Great project….I have used cookie cutters with UTEE and also silicon moulds with UTEE too….and regularily use kitchen string on my pages too!!! I love this way of using the cutters
Absolutely adorable! Thank you for the idea and the downloads!
No, I don’t think I have ever used a kitchen tool for art. I could be wrong, but I sure can’t think of any off the top of my head.
Oh I love this idea! I am teaching a girls’ class on Friday and I think they would easily be able to make ornaments like this! Thanks for sharing this SO MUCH!
It’s funny you ask because I have decorated cookie cutters before (a LONG time ago!) back in kindergarten or first grade we glued them up, glittered them, tied red yard around them and brought them home to our parents
I love the cookie cutter idea~!
The only thing I remember ever using from the kitchen on a layout was baker’s twine I stole from around a box containing a pie I bought! My daughter thought I was nuts!
I haven’t ever used cookie cutters in scrapbooking. These would make great teacher gifts. Thanks for the idea!
I used a metal cut mout gingerbread man cookie cutter to make a Christmas ornament! I love the idea of using the stars.
I’ve never used cookie cutters as ornaments before, although I’ve seen this idea and loved it! I’ve also seen the altered and strung together like a garland – great way to use such an ordinary item. The only “kitchen” item I have re-created with has been the lids to frozen juice concentrate cans. We usually use them with paper, glitter and whatever else the kids have in their craft stash to make quick and easy ornaments.
I’ve never used them crafty like, but I have recently loved a wreath I saw with them and have plans….
These are adorable! Love the tickets on the side of the star shape. I have to get some of that chevron paper! I have used holiday recipe cards ($1 bins from Michaels) as accents on cards. They make cute journaling cards on scrapbook pages too.
I have NOT used a cookie cutter in any of my altered art items – how silly!!! These are adorable. The closest I have gotten is using a ball jar in an altered art project!
Thanks for the opportunity!
I have hardly used a cookie cutter for cookies!! But this is a good idea even if you just use the shapes.
I’ve never used a cookie cutter in an altered project but i have used a mini whisk.
I love Danielle’s projects! I actually have some cookie cutters in my holiday stash just waiting for the right inspiration — I think I found it!
I’ve never tried using kitchen items in my projects but your cookie cutter project is adorable!!
I’ve used cookie cutters to create homemade ornaments which I attached to gifts one year.
I loved your website and ornament ideas.
This year for our gift exchange with my family
We are exchanging ornaments, so this gives me a few more
Clever ideas. I have only used cookie cutters to help with making felt cutouts.
A few years back I made my parents a tree skirt with all six kids names and the
Cookie cutter cutout had the names. It was cute and my parents loved it!
Thanks again for the ideas!
Can;t seem to remember using kitchen things in my crafting.
Want to make some of these to tie on gifts. Thanks!
I use empty spice jars for storing my paint brushes-but I don’t think that’s what you had in mine.I think these are adorable and I am certainly going to give them a try this year!
Love love love the cookie cutter project! I HAVE used utensils in my mixed media art projects. If you take big spoons and yes cookie cutters, you can have some pretty unusual looking dolls. Just wrap the skirt around the part that meets with the spoon, that’s the neck, then the spoon is the face…a cookie cutter star makes an adorable face! and decorate with embellishments, hair, yarn-and all those ‘bits’ you’ve saved that you know you’d use sometime!
These look great peeking out of a large floral arrangement-pretty whimsical! Yay!
Thanks for the project!
~Roxanne
I have never done this but sure am thinking about doing so now! Thanks for the chance to win.
I haven’t yet, but you folks sure make it look like fun!
I’ve never seen this done before, and no I have never used any kitchen item in altered art projects – I’ve never done altered art!
The kids & I made ornaments with bell shaped cookie cutters when they were little.
The closet I have ever come to using cookie cutter in crafts was last year, I made gingerbread ornaments and pins out of polymer clay. The cookie cutter ornaments certainly are cute!
Kindest regards,
Jennifer
I’ve used cookie cutters for Christmas ornaments. Decorated them somewhat like you did. I’ve also used them to make clay shaped ornaments.
No, I don’t think i have ever used anything from the kitchen! But those cookie cutters are a great idea!
I have never used cookie cutters for anything other than cookies.
Back when I had very few ornaments I used to hang cookie cutters on the tree. I don’t recall actually using a kitchen item (besides jars) as part of a project. I have used kitchen items many times when creating projects though – bowls, cups and such for tracing circles, meat tenderizer mallet, wisk, and such for adding texture to various mediums and so on.
I’ve never done anything like this. It would be fun to give it a try.
I have used a wooden spoon as a snowman. Old school but still I think a classic.
Never have but looks too cute not to…very nice!
I was about to use a mini cookie cutter, but then dd pointed out a piece of chipboard…
I have used old oil bottles to alter and made thank you “bottles” as a substitute for a card and add scrapbook paper around it and add beads, ribbon, charms ANC a stamped “thank you” with a rolled note in the bottle. I used an old metal pan and made a magnet board with handmade letters for my girls and I have used my alphabet cookie cutters to outline and make a banner to match cookies we made for the girls party!!! I also used an old fork to make a stand for an altered picture ( saw this idea on the Internet for bending an old fork to hold a card )!! Thanks for the fun ideas I now need to go buy some star cookie cutters these are soooooo cute!
I’ve never used anything from the kitchen but today’s post has given me some great ideas.
What a fantastic idea! Never seen it before, never thought of it before, but might have to give it a go one day.
The only thing I have ever used cookie cutters for an art project was to have my kids use them as templates on plain paper and they would color them in. I love today’s project and will try to try making one.
I have used them to cut out shapes to use on projects. Great idea.
craftymom205 at yahoo dot com
love those adorable ornaments. I see altered rolling pins at craft shows and I would love to try that with these holiday papers!
i have used popsicle sticks and tooth picks, but nothing like a spoon. if i find a silverspoon, i would probably save it for such a purpose. rush88888 at gmail dot com
Love the cookie cutter ornaments! I’ve altered just about everything but a cookie cutter.
No, I’ve never used a cookie cutter as part of a craft project, but now that I’ve seen how cute it can be, I think I might try!
I have never used a cookie cutter in a project but what a great idea. I can’t wait to try it!
Have not used any but there is one project sitting at the back of my head for some time now lol. Have always wanted to create a calendar to countdown to Christmas using baking trays. Although the idea is not new but love to create one. Today’s project using the cookie cutter is now in my ‘want To DO” list! Simply adoring the Winter Wonderland collection.
No cookie cutter projects, but I DID decorate a woodem rolling pin for Mother’s Day one year! These cookie cutter ornaments are so adorable!
I have never before but I sure will now!
I never have, but am going to make these:)
No I have not but would love to make one!
That is a great idea! I definitely need to try that. hmm… I have used kitchen tools to create projects, but not actually as a part of an altered project!
These are so cute, I love the “snowballs” around them! I haven’t used kitchen items before for crafts unless you count peanut butter jar lids, I turn them into snowglobe ornaments. There made much the same way as the stars are except I usually make a scene of some sort, add glittery/fluffy snow product (can’t think of the name of it) and plastic on the front. Will have to try it with cookie cutters and plastic on both sides.
Nope, but now I’m planning on looking for some cookies cutters!
I have used cookie cutters as danglies on a handmade recipe book; also used a small rolling pin with holes drilled in it – then put the rings thru the holes and used it to hang the recipe book! very cute! I have used cookie cutters to make a christmas banner and also backed with the kids photos…not nearly as cute as the ones you have here!! toot toot – they are darling! thanks for the cute and inexpensive idea!
Sort of- we used them to trace shapes onto cardboard & paint with peanut butter & birdseed! Not sure if that counts- definitely altered!
I’ve never used a kitchen item for an altered project…but after seeing Danielle’s project, I think I will! LOVE this cookie cutter idea – so creative and fun!
This is such a cute idea!!! I have used them for cutting shapes but never actaully used the actual cutters!
i have used them on mixed media art journals and canvas projects with modeling paste to add texture
Never used cookie cutters other than as ornaments in the kids’ tree – you know the tin of 10 or 12 cutters shaped like reindeer, snowflake and so on you can get around the holidays… they’re pretty hardy and the little ones love them so as tree decorations they are great!
Umm…not yet, but you can bet I’ll be tearing through my kitchen drawers tomorrow to see what I can find. I’ve been wanting to make a recipe album, and I’m sure there’s something from my kitchen I can use to alter a box to protect the album when it’s complete. The cookie cutter ornaments are just darling!
I’ve never used a cookie cutter in any craft projects, but I think I will in the future.
I am inspired by your cookie cutter projects, I’m going to have to give it a try!
I have not tried this before, but it is super cute!
So so cute!
No…I don’t think I’ve ever used a kitchen item in an altered project.
xoxo.
The cookie cutter ornaments are so cute……Love them. I havent thought of using them for anything else but cutting out shapes with air dry clay to use on my projects. You have my mind ticking…….tick, tick, tick. Can you hear it.
I have never used cooking utensil on my scrapbook but this really inspite me to give it a go!
Great project. I haven’t tried using kitchen items yet, but very inspired now..
I used a wooden ladel to create a otp project consisting of a bird in a nest … was a lot of fun – the dust was not nice though!!
I neve do it,
Lots of goodies leave my kitchen at the holidays, but I don’t think I’ve ever used any of the equipment to make a home decor project. These cookie cutter ornaments may be the first!
Great idea! Got me thinking of my gingerbread theme tree in my kitchen! Maybe I will add a gingerbread cookie cutter that is altered with Christmas paper. Yes, I have altered a kitchen item…..altered several mason jars to create gifts (cookie mix inside, etc.). And of course, the altered plate has crossed my path too!
So clever and super duper cute!!
Again: thank you SOOOO much for the project sheets & printables. You’re too generous & adorable. HUGE thanks!
I’ve never used cookie cutters like this. I’ve thought about usign them as templates, but it never seems to happen. GUess I just have to DO it, huh?
)
(Only… Wonder where they’re at, after the move & all?
Thanks so much, it’s a great idea.
Day by day we learn something original on your side.
I have a grater that was altered with ribbons and Christmas greenery to make a lovely decoration. I’ve also painted mini rolling pins to look like Santa. What beautiful projects!

What are fabulous idea !! I’ve never used cookie cutters on my projects before (I have used my kids playdough cutters to use to cut out cookie shapes…..)but might have to give this a go !!
I have never used cookie cutters, but I have used wooden spoons to create cute little faces, and added hair etc and then going down the spoon, I added embelishments and notes etc for Christmas
Love the idea of altering a cookie cutter. I’m definitely going to try that! I don’t remember evev altering anything from my kitchen, YET!
I have never altered kitchen items before, but after seeing all these awesome altered cookie cutters I am inspired..

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever used a cookie cutter for any kind of altered decor. But… I WILL NOW!! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I have never used a cookie cutter myself, but I used to make those salt-dough ornaments, and used cookie cutters to make the shapes!
These are so cute! Thanks for the ideas!
I have never done anything like this, but now I think I might just have to…
This is such a fun product, thanks for the DL instructions!!! No I have never used kitchen ware in my crafting world, but this sure does open my eyes to it! Thanks again!

I have so far, but these cute cookie cutter ornaments are definately on my TO DO list!
I haven’t altered cookie cutters before, but have used a muffin pan for an advent calendar that I decorated. Thanks for sharing your idea… way cute!
I like giving and getting gift cards. Easy and I like getting something I want
great downloas, especially the double one, also great for a wedding. I love the giftcards. They look nice and are great to give to someone, knowing they can choose there own present.
What a great idea for all the cookie cutters that I have! Thank you for sharing…
