I’ve been on a bit of a splurge recently, buying vintage cookie cutters from a well known internet auction site. Most seem to come from the US and the range is huge compared to the ones I’ve found here in the UK. This week my little collection grew and I have some great seasonal cutters, including candy canes, gingerbread houses, drums, candles, trees, holly leaves, Father Christmas and even reindeer.
As much as I love to use my cutters when baking biscuits there are lots of other things they can be used for.
I used some cutters as gift tags to jazz up the plain brown paper I used for wrapping.
I made another yarn wreath and hung some cookie cutters from it.
I’m also thinking of making a wreath for the front door from a selection of cutter, tying each together with ribbon so I can re-use them for baking.
Finally, I’m going to hang some on the Christmas tree, when we eventually go and buy one, with good old bakers twine.
I’d love to hear any more ideas, so I can justify more purchases, so please let me know if you use them, and how.
