Perfect for hanging on a tree or using to decorate your kitchen for the holidays, these Cookie Cutter Ornaments by Becky Meverden are easy and fun to make, and are great DIY projects for the Christmas season.  These also make great gifts for bakers and those who love to make cookies for Christmas.  You can also make fun gift tags for any holiday by using cute cookie cutters to label gift packages and boxes.

Materials:

• Christmas tree cookie cutter
• Fabric scrap
• Rick rack
• Buttons (I switched out the rhinestones at the last minute)
• Adhesive
• Thin lined marker
• Scissors
• Cording or string

Instructions:

1. Place a line of glue around the back perimeter of the cookie cutter and place onto fabric.  Let dry.
   
   
    
2. Cut excess fabric around entire cookie cutter.  Don't worry if fabric pulls away from the cutter, you can reapply the glue when you are finished.
    
3. Place a line of glue around the entire side of the cookie cutter.  Follow with the rick rack, starting at the bottom of the cutter.  Cut off excess.
   
   
    
4. Glue buttons on each side.
   
   
    
5. Press the top fabric out to allow a hole for the cording.
    
6. String with cording.
