Second Life for Stuff - Cookie Cutters

12/23/2010

0 Comments

 
Picture
If you have duplicate cookie cutters (for some reason I have three snowmen and four stars of slightly different sizes) or just don't use them for baking anymore, there are two crafty ways to give them a second life. 

The first is to use them for a painting project. Just grab some paper and choose your paint colors and dip your cutter into the paint for a quick masterpiece. Wash the cutters when you're done and you can use them again and again. Depending on the shape, you can create a paint project for a particular holiday or just for fun.

Use the cookie cutters for play doh or clay. Your child can roll out the play doh and then use the cutters to make their different shapes than what came with the play doh set.

If you are working with baking or air-dry clay, then you can use the cutters to make clay jewelry, clay coasters (if the shapes are large enough) or fun art objects.

    About Me & this blog 

    Sandra K. Lee is a freelance writer and stay-at-home mom with a toddler and school-age child in Central New Jersey. She also writes other blogs including Momoirs and on NJ.com.

    This blog features places, attractions, products and services I or my immediate family have tried or use/visit. Unless noted in the review, I did not receive compensation (i.e. a free item, review copy, discount/free admission) and own or have owned the item, borrowed the item or paid my own money. In some cases reviews are based on recommendations by other NJ parents and those also will be noted.
