Christmas Crafts: Vintage Cookie Cutter Ornaments DIY
By Heather O’Cain, artist/upcycler at BluKatDesign on Etsy
Do you love a vintage Christmas theme? My style is sleek modern but for Christmas I love the vintage charm! I got an early start this year in making Christmas decorations, I just finished a fabulous vintage jewelry Christmas tree last week! I received most of the vintage jewelry and these cookie cutters from my late mother-in-law. For making the ornaments, you will need some old Christmas cards or sheet music, pearl strands or lace, vintage jewelry, charms, flowers, ribbon, gold cord for hanging and a glue gun!
Make ornaments using cookie cutters, paper flowers, ribbon, vintage beads and old Christmas cards
Trace around the cutter on the card, then make your cut slightly inside the line
Hot glue the Christmas card inside the cutter then glue vintage beads and paper flowers, I may add glitter later…
Tie a cord around the handle on the back and hot glue a ribbon bow!

Usually I don’t get a chance to make Christmas decorations until AFTER Christmas. These were easy and quick to make so I could fit them in with all my jewelry making this year. Not sure when the tree will go up but it will be after Thanksgiving!

Love!! When my mom passed away, I sadly let a set of those go. 😕 wish I still had them to make these. Really, really nice!
Thanks Karen, so sorry you let the set go! I have a set from my mother-in-law that I use on my tree. You can find them cheap at thrift stores. 🙂
