You Will Need:

• Gingerbread Cottage Cookie Mold
• Fluted Round Cookie Cutter
• Delight Modeling Compound
• Cornstarch
• Straw

Instructions:

1. Make a casting from Paperclay or Delight. Knead the selected material into a solid mass and with a rolling pin, roll the material about 1/2 inch thick on a flat surface brushed with cornstarch.
2. Brush the cookie mold with cornstarch. Press the mold firmly and straight down into the Delight or Paperclay. Lift the mold straight up.
3. Cut the casting with a fluted round cutter and make a small hole with a straw. Place it on a cookie rack to dry.
4. Repeat the process, making the desired number of castings. Let them dry for approximately 24 hours.
5. Paint the castings as desired.
6. When dry, add a ribbon and tie it onto a bow on a cookie tin, a gift bag, or a box. Alternatively, you can make a charming ornament with either Delight or PaperClay.
