These ornaments are treats for your tree

Ornaments made from cookie cutters are a fun and easy craft for the holidays.
These are the materials needed to make holiday ornaments out of cookie cutters.
Step 1: Apply small dabs of glue around bottom edge of cookie cutter. Quickly press the glue-covered edge against the decorative side of the scrapbook paper. Let dry.
Step 2: Use the X-ACTO knife to cut around the outside edge of the cookie cutter.
Step 3: Thread the needle with the twine or ribbon and poke it through the paper at the top of the ornament (as close to the metal as possible). Tie a knot on top of the cutter. Form a 2-inch loop and tie another knot.
