CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#51) COOKIE CUTTER CRAFTING

Happy Monday!

This week's tip borrows a little something from the kitchen...yes...again.

That little something is cookie cutters!

If you can get a hold of some cookie cutters, use them as stencils, for stamping or just to dangle off your mini recipe books.

Often times at yard sales, thrift stores & vintage shops you can purchase bags of them for real cheap.

I wish this idea had come to me while I was at a shop while vacationing in Florida. I spot a bag at a thrift store & the sticker on it quoted a variety pack of 50 for 50 cents. How crazy is that?

Then I get home & I am cleaning out some kitchen drawers & stumble on a few that I had in a baggie & it was labeled for playdoh use only. Ha...so I have been crafting with cookie cutters for playdoh use- but, had not thought of using them to trace or even stamp with??? Well, there you have it...this week's tip...if you have some rusted out or unused cookie cutters laying around, use them in your paper crafting adventures.
Don't have any? Go shopping!

I know, I know...what an enabler!
