Christmas Decorations: Amazing Uses for Cookie Cutters
Using Cookie Cutters For Shaping Food
Use your favorite cookie cutters to bake your brownie mix directly in them and decorate them. They make a great looking give away treat for any occasion.
Fruit can be cut also with cookie cutters; especially watermelon, honey melon and mangoes are great for that. Stick them on a bamboo skewer and you’ll have a great treat fit for parties. Also consider cutting cheese, ham and toast bread to create a different sandwich for your kids.
Another way to use them is to make your jelly in them, so you’ll have some fancy looking dessert. You can also make a layer of jelly and then cut it with your cookie cutters. Or fill them with a few Jolly Ranchers and bake them up and you’ll get all colorful candy.
Cut rolled out pizza dough before you arrange the other ingredients on it with cookie cutters for a special buffet treat.
Finally, one can use them to help decorate cakes. Just lay the cookie cutter on the cake and fill it with sprinkles, either colorful ones or chocolate. Carefully lift the cookie cutter and you’ll have a great, quick and easy decoration for your cake.

Use Them For Christmas Decoration
They are great to use as napkin holders and as candle holders as well. Add some seasonal greenery like pine twigs and holly leaves, tie some ribbons, and they will be unique pieces on your table.
Tied together, they can make a beautiful Christmas wreath and if you hang them from a nice branch, you’ll have another eye catching decoration for your home.

Make Christmas Tree Ornaments Out Of Them
Also, they are great to use as Christmas tree ornaments. You can paint them with some glitter to add some sparkling, or wrap them with twine. Also, you can line the back of the cookie cutters with some patterned paper or cardstock.
