Tools and Supplies
Tools:
- Drill to put a hole in the top of the cookie cutter. You could use a nail and hammer.
- Block of wood to drill into
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue
Supplies
- Cookie Cutters
- Photo Prints
- Pen and Paper
- Glue squares
- Jump Ring and Ribbon to hang the ornament, options below.
- 3 dimentional paint, I used a glitter color on this ornament, works as both glue and grout to cover any mistakes. Tin cookie cutters I use a pewter color that looks good with the silver cookie cutter.
- Whatever Embellishments you desire

Trace around your cookie Cutters and then scan the page so you can use it for sizing your photographs to make them the perfect size. If that is to complicated, get 4 x 6 prints of your photos and pick a cookie cutter to fit the picture instead of the other way around.
![Final print to make 9 cookie cutter ornaments.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/Cookie-Cutter-Christmas-Ornaments-Photos.png?resize=240%2C300&ssl=1)
I used the scan of the cookie cutters as the bottom layer in Photoshop and made sure the pictures I wanted for the cookie cutter ornaments fit. Then I sent one 8×10 print to have a matte print made. Glossy printes end up with fingerprints on them. The final print I was able to make 9 cookie cutter ornaments.
![Measure Twice, Print Once.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4181.png?resize=229%2C300&ssl=1)
Make sure your photos fit the cookie cutters by making a print at home before sending to get a photo quality print.
![Drilling the hole to put the ribbon through](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4465.png?resize=300%2C290&ssl=1)
Drilled a small hole in the top of the cookie cutter to put a ribbon through. You could also epoxy a loop of some sort to hang from or tie a ribbon to.
![Perfect Placement](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4497.png?resize=241%2C300&ssl=1)
Hold the cookie cutter behind the photo to get perfect placement.

Trace around the cookie cutter
![Cut out your picture.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4553.png?resize=300%2C229&ssl=1)
Since the sides of this cookie cutter are tapered, i drew a second line 1/8 of an inch smaller than the outside so the picture would be perfectly positioned.
![Make sure your photo fits perfectly.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4567.png?resize=300%2C274&ssl=1)
Make sure your photo fits perfectly.
![This was a very shallow cookie cutter so I only used the 1/4" x 14" mounting squares.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4570.png?resize=300%2C230&ssl=1)
This was a very shallow cookie cutter so I only used the 1/4″ x 14″ mounting squares.
![Placing mounting squares](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4599.png?resize=300%2C223&ssl=1)
Place the mounting squares all the way around the cookie cutter.

Once you get the mounting squares in, but before you put the picture it you must install the ribbon hanger. I tied the ribbon securely to a jump ring.
![Install the ribbon](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4630.png?resize=300%2C232&ssl=1)
I put the ribbon down through the hole I drilled at the top of the tree and then hot glued the ribbon to the back of the cookie cutter.
![Place the photo in the cookie cutter](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4638.png?resize=300%2C281&ssl=1)
Place the photo in the cookie cutter where it sets nicely on the mounting squares.
![Make sure it fits perfectly.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4665.png?resize=293%2C300&ssl=1)
Make sure it fits perfectly.
![Put a small amount of glue on the mounting squares to adhere to the picture.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4675.png?resize=300%2C260&ssl=1)
Put a tiny amount of glitter glue or 3 dimensional paint on the edges of the mounting squares to adhere the photo to. You could also use any simple paper glue.
![Secure photo with glitter glue.](https://i0.wp.com/genealogy-gencrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/CC_4719.png?resize=290%2C300&ssl=1)
Put your photo in position and run another line of glitter glue around the edge of the cookie cutter and embellish as you please.
