11 Cool Ways To Use Your Christmas Cookie Cutters
There's more fun to be had with those cutters than just cookies.

Make Festively-Shaped Fudge
Since fudge hardens in the fridge as it becomes firmer, the mold (aka your cookie cutter) will slip off with ease once your holiday sweet is ready to eat.
Burn Holiday Candles
This is one of the easiest — and most impressive — DIY gifts you can create. Float them in a shallow bow for truly lovely centerpiece.
Update Your Mantle With Vintage Style
You probably already own the two materials required for this country chic accessory: Twine and cookie cutters. But we'd recommend picking up vintage shapes with an antique look to create a rustic vibe.
Create Fluffy Tree Ornaments
Offer a special nod to your favorite cookie cutters (and the shapes you've probably eaten for years) with these pillow ornaments. How cute is the "icing" (aka thread) detailing?
Makes the Easiest Wreath Ever
We bet you could finish this DIY in 15 minutes tops: Just use red ribbon to string star-shaped cutters together. Even people who consider themselves crafting-challenged can pull this one off.
Give Cocoa a Cute Touch
What's better than a warm mug of hot chocolate on a cold day? One with a whipped cream gingerbread man smiling right back at you. Plus, those adorable red candy buttons make our hearts want to burst with happiness.
Turn Gingerbread Into a Banner
Grab your alphabet cookie cutters to create festive decor that also shares a message with guests. This particular one says "Give Thanks" but we'd also recommend "Happy Holidays" or "Ho Ho Ho."
Add Some Accessories to a Wreath
Here's proof that cookie cutters in themselves are super adorable: These red- and green-rimmed versions add serious style to an otherwise muted, plaid wreath.
Give Peppermint Bark a Shape
Everyone's favorite dark and white chocolate treat (with minty fresh crushed peppermint sticks on top) somehow tastes even better out of a festive mold. Here they're snowflakes, but we think a candy cane would be super meta (and amazing).
Decorate With a Shooting Star
This ornament with three mini star cookie cutters strung together is so simple we wish we had thought of it. It puts a twist on the expected star design, transforming it into a shooting star.
Make Ornaments Out of Clay
If you prefer your Christmas tree to veer on the quirkier side, choose wacky colors of clay (like pink or green). Or go traditional (and still adorable) with a brown gingerbread man with a big ol' smile.
