Bright Idea: Cookie Cutter Crafts

Have some old cookie cutters that you don't use anymore? Maybe you've seen some at a garage sale or in a discount bin? Here are a few great (non-cookie cutting) ways to put them to use for the holidays!

Use cookie cutters to form candles. Make them out of honeycomb wax sheets or use them to top a cake!

Give fudge to friends and neighbors using cookie cutters as molds!

Make ornaments by attaching photos to cookie cutters or covering them with glitter.

Create simple napkin rings or decorate your shelves with holiday greetings.

 Tie old cookie cutters together with twine to make a garland.

Last but not least, you can use cookie cutters to make a wreath! Stick to one shape (like stars) to create a simple wreath, use a multitude of shapes and spray paint the wreath to be one uniform color, or leave the cookie cutters as is and add a fancy bow... like the green and red bow or the picnic pattern bow pictured above.
