DIY Christmas Tins

DIY Christmas Ornaments (made from thrift store cookie cutters) These DIY ornaments are so cute and bring a warm feeling of nostalgia with an antique rusty kind of look. YOU WILL NEED: metal cookie cutters, textured spray paint, ribbon of your choice. You can find metal cookie cutters at Walmart or on-line (I got mine at a thrift store) 1. Lay the cookie cutters flat on a piece of cardboard in a wellventilated area. 2. Spray paint with the textured spray paint. 3. Once the first layer is dry, flip them over and paint the other side. 4. Cut a thin piece of ribbon about 8-10 inches long. 5. Tie around the cookie cutter to use to hang it on the tree. You can also use these on gifts as cute gift tags by adding the recipients name with a marker. 74  |  SIMPLY SARATOGA | HOLIDAY 2021
