How-To 3D Doodle A Cookie Cutter

Learn how-to make your own cookie cutters with a 3D printing pen in #TechniqueTuesday and then try them out with mini gingerbread houses!

• 

  Step 1

  Sketch or print out the designs you'd like for your cookie cutters.

• 

  Step 2

  Cover the design with a thin sheet of plastic and heat up your 3D printing pen. Trace the outline of your design.

• 

  Step 3

  Trace around the outside of the design, making your cutter a little thicket.

• 

  Step 4

  Now continue tracing on top of the design, making it deeper.

• 

  Step 5

  Once you've reached the desired depth, remove from the plastic and use a small pair of scissors to snip off any wispy bits of plastic.

• 

  Step 6

  Use a hot glue gun to stick your cutter shape back onto the plastic sheet.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut around the outline of the shape with scissors.

• 

  Step 8

  Your cutters and now ready to use. I recommend trying them out with sugar dough or gingerbread!
