Making Tin Cookie Cutters

Sissy participated in a heritage workshop class today. She made tin cookie cutters. This was very cool for her and for me. I really don't know who had more fun.... and all I got to do is watch.

She worked with a partner and they made 8 cookie cutters in 3 hours. I was very impressed. She brought home 4 cutters; a hart, diamond, apple and a free form square. The first three she made using the "pin and post method". It is amazing what you can do in a short time when you have the proper tools!

Here is a picture of the heart cutter as it is still on the board. You can see the pins and posts that the tin strip is woven around.

Sissy did such a great job!
