St. Paddy's day is coming up! To be perfectly honest, I've only ever made ONE set of St. Patrick's Day cookies, some very simple shamrocks when I first began this cookie journey.
In the years that followed, I always had good intentions to make more, specifically Leprechauns, but one thing always stopped me. I just could not find a cutter I just really loved...
So, this year my mission was to find a way to use the cutters I already had to make a leprechaun I could be proud of.
Here's what I came up with =)
This one is probably my personal favorite. This Frankenstein cutter is one of my favorites. I have used it for SOOOOOOO many things!
This design was also pretty high up on my list. all I did was snip off his chin, and I had the perfect base for my leprechaun!
This snowman has also turned out the be a pretty handy dandy cutter. I could have skipped the trimming altogether, I just did it for grins...
I didn't like this cutter much as a wreath, but it sure made a cute leprechaun!
Lots and lots of you probably own this common Wilton cutter. I happen to have to old plastic one that I acquired from my mom, but the newer coated metal version is still easy to find.
This is another one of my favorite, easy to locate Wilton Cutters. I have used this one for Frankenstein, Santa, snowmen, Scarecrows, Christmas, Valentine, and Birthday cup cakes, and now leprechauns. I think this is one of my all-time most useful cutters!
This cutter actually belongs to Belle. I am constantly stealing it from her playdough kit =) I ♥ it!
And even if you have nothing else available but a simple round cutter, {or a tin can biscuit cutter} Leprechaun cookies are not out of reach!
It took me a long time to learn not to be restricted by cookie cutters. Be creative, use what you have, and make it work for you!
Happy decorating!
