I really wanted to share with you my last discovery : how to make homemade cookie cutters. In France, it is difficult to find original cookie cutters so I decided to make my own !
To make your own cookie cutters, you need :
– empty soda cans
– a cutter
– the pattern of your cookie cutter
– adhesive tape
1/ Cut strips out of your soda cans, be very careful not to hurt yourself !
2/ Cut a sheet of stiff plastic or paper following the pattern of your cookie cutter.
3/ Shape the can strips with the help of the stiff pattern, just like that.
4/ Use the tape to stick the two edges of your new cookie cutter.
You’re done !
CAUTION : The edges of the cookie cutters can be sharp, so be careful ! You can also use some paper clips to hold them like this.

This is a great idea, and a great way to repurpose a soda can, thanks for sharing !
Great to hear you found a way to re-purpose an item.
My grandmother, born in early 1900 used her wedding ring the to the holes in donuts.
