Anything crafty. So this is my tutorial video on How to make a DIY Cookie Cutter using items that you probably already have at home. #threadbanger Tutorial video for the Valentines Day Cookies using these DIY Cookie Cutter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXxwlDE0hTE I actually made these cookie cutters because I was in the mood to make cookies and I didn't own any cookie cutters of my own. I was amazed to see how pricey some of the cookie cutters were at the store now-a-days and sometimes if all you want is a heart cookie cutter and it comes in a set, you end up with all these extra cookie cutters that you don't even need or want. So I decided to put an end to it and make my own. The best part of it all is that it didn't cost a dime. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ You only need 3 items: - Ruler - Utility Scissors - Aluminum tin pan (not to be mistaken with aluminum foil, there is a difference) Hope you found my tutorial useful. =) Arlene aka QueenLeilani ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FAQ: ♥1.) What kind of scissors do I use? I don't want to break my scissors. Use heavy duty utility scissors. It is not hard to cut aluminum. But don't use scissors that are not meant for cutting anything heavy duty. ♥2.) Wouldn't this be flimpsy? No. If you do it right you can make a decent cookie cutter. That is why you fold the aluminum a few times to make it sturdy. ♥3.) Can I just use foil? No. Foil by itself would be too thin. ♥4.) Why are you talking in the beginning of the video, why don't you just go straight to the tutorial? I made this video for a contest and part of the rules was to do an introduction and explain what we were making. So if you don't have patience watching the intro, then utilize the fast forward option...that's what it's for. ♥5.) Where is your contest video? I can't find it. You can find the video that I submitted to Threadbanger here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bap4Favn4kU ♥6.) Where is the tutorial for your Valentines Day cookies? You can find the tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXxwlDE0hTE ♥7.) Did you come up with the cookie cutter idea? Yes, I came up with the idea on my own while I was trying to figure out how to make one to save money. I tried different methods before finally coming up with a aluminum pan. I searched on YouTube before uploading this video to make sure no one had made a tutorial on this beforehand. There was no videos displaying the same idea. I'm sure someone out in the World Wide Web has thought of the same idea as well...but as far as i'm concerned, there was no tutorial video until now. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Music by: Kevin MacLeod http://www.incompetech.com Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
