Candy-Filled Cookie Cutter Gifts

Cookie cutters filled with favorite goodies are easy-to-make gifts.

What you need
Pencil
Open-style cookie cutters
Lightweight cardboard (poster board)
Scissors
Transparent tape
Nuts or small candies (M&Ms)
Clear plastic bag that cookie cutters fit in
Ribbon

Directions

  1. Draw around a cookie cutter onto lightweight cardboard.
  2. Cut out the shape.
  3. Tape the cardboard to the back of the cookie cutter.
  4. Fill the cookie cutter with nuts or candies.
  5. With cutter lying flat, slide it into bag and tie a ribbon bow around the open end of the bag.

What a great, easy, gift idea. You can use it as a party favor or even as a decoration on packages. I am planning on including this gift along with another simple homemade gift.
