Pumpkin Cookie Cutter Prints

>> Thursday, October 22, 2009

You'll need:
styrofoam trays, well washed,
a pumpkin cookie cutter (or any other shape you want)
tempera paint
a paint brush

First, press your cookie cutter into the styrofoam.
You just need to make an indentation, not cut through the whole tray.
Next, brush paint onto the styrofoam.
It took a little experimentation to figure out just how much paint was the right amount.
Lay your paper on top of the painted tray and rub it down.
When you lift your paper, you'll have a nice pumpkin outline.
You can repeat the process with the same paper using different colors on the tray to create more depth to the color.

We mounted ours on black to hang on the wall.
Thank you 4 Crazy Kings for the idea to use cookie cutters on styrofoam.
