Fourth of July Cookie Cutter Ornament Recycled From a Broken Cookie Cutter

Fourth of July Cookie Cutter Ornament Recycled From a Broken Cookie Cutter

I started with a broken cutter that I was reluctant to just couldn’t make myself throw away (“Do you hear my momma whispering in my ear too?”).  So it sat on my craft desk since Valentine’s Day until I was working on my Patriotic Garland (coming to you in a blog near you soon!) and ding, ding, ding it occurred to me I could make it into a cute ornament for my garland.

What I really like about this craft is that simply by changing the fabric, the trim, and the shape of the cutter you can easily customize this to any holiday or use it “as is” for a “Country Denim Christmas”.   And of course you don’t have to use a “don’t throw it out” cutter, you could use an unbroken one.

 

Materials

• Red, White & Blue Torn Fabric Strips
• Red, White & Blue Rick-Rack
• Star or Heart Cookie Cutter

Also Needed

• Scissors
• Cardboard
• Fabric Glue

Photo Tutorial

Step 1: Assesmble supplies. Tear fabric or cut with zig-zag scissors.

Step 2: Replace the broken part with cardboard taped in place.

Step 3: Wrap the broken area with fabric and secure with glue. If using an unbroken cutter wrap 2 or 3 inches.

Step 4: Tie strips of fabric around the cutter. Add pieces of rick rack in between the strips.

Alternatives on this project would be wrapping the entire cutter with denim and then tying the strips to part or all of the cutter.
