Use cookie cutters in a variety of ways to add to your valentines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Assemble a selection of various sizes of heart-shaped cookie cutters.

  2. Step 2

    Use the cookie cutters as stencils. Trace them to create perfect hearts on your valentines. This is a good method for children who have difficulty drawing hearts.

  3. Step 3

    Try tracing a large heart and progressively smaller hearts inside it with different colored pens or markers.

  4. Step 4

    Trace the hearts on several layers of colored paper or fabrics and glue them on top of one another on your card to give the card depth.

  5. Step 5

    Create your own sugar-cookie or chocolate-chip-cookie mix. Measure some into plastic bags. Write baking instructions on a heart-shaped piece of paper or card stock. Punch a hole in the corner of the instructions. Attach the instructions and a heart-shaped cookie cutter to the bag with red and pink ribbon. Give these wonderful packages as gifts to all of your valentines.

  6. Step 6

    Glue an attractive heart-shaped cookie cutter onto a card. Cookie cutters with handles or scalloped edges are particularly nice for this. Decorate the rest of the card.

  7. Step 7

    Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter as a frame for a decorated cookie valentine. Bake some heart-shaped cookies. Decorate the cookies with Valentine's Day messages. Place each cookie inside a heart-shaped cookie cutter and wrap in cellophane. Decorate the package with ribbons. Giving a valentine cookie this way helps protect the cookie from breaking during transport.
