How to Make a Christmas Cookie Exchange Sign with the Free Christmas Cookie Exchange Printable Sign
Supplies Needed
- Print the Free Christmas Cookie Exchange Sign
- Plain Wooden Unfinished Frame or recycle one you already own
- FolkArt Home Decor Chalk Furniture & Craft Paint in White
- Foam Paint Brushes
- Buffalo Snow Flurries White Iridescent Flake Blend
- Aleene's Tacky Glue
- Mini Plastic Christmas Balls
- Teal Wire Garland (Walmart)
- Red Tassel trimming
- Command Picture Hanging Strips
Directions
- Remove the glass piece from the frame and set aside in a safe area where no children might pick it up and get cut on the edges.
- Paint the frame with white chalk paint and allow to dry completely. Repeating once for an even coat of paint.
- Spread the tacky glue over the frame in one section at a time.
- Sprinkle a thick coating of Buffalo Snow Flurries over the glue and press down with your hand. Allow glue to dry and repeat if needed so all of the frame section is covered in a thick layer of snow flurries.
- Repeat for all four sided of the frame. Set aside to dry over night. Hold the frame so one edge is on a hard surface. Gently tap the frame once or twice on a hard surface so any unglued Snow Flurried will fall off.
- Place the frame with the front down on a stable surface. Replace the glass piece. Sprinkle some snow flurries along the bottom edge of the frame. Place the Christmas Cookie Exchange Sign in the frame over the snow flurries. Place the back of the frame in over the Sign. Secure the back with the clips of the frame.
- Turn the frame over so the front is facing up.
- In the two bottom corners glue down three mini Christmas balls in colors that match the Sign. I used red, green and blues Christmas balls. Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
- Measure the red tassel trimming to fit along the length of the frame with about an extra ¼ inch so you can attach it with glue around the side edge of the frame. Repeat for the opposite edge of the frame.
- Make a small bow out of the teal tinsel wire garland and glue it at the bottom of the frame in the center.
- Lay the frame down and allow all the glue to dry over night.
- To hang the Christmas Cookie Exchange Sign on the wall temporarily use command hooks. Or stand it up using the stand on the back of the frame.
Basic Christmas Cookie Baking Supplies
- Mixing bowls should be large enough to mix the cookie dough or icings.
- My Favorite Christmas Cookie Cutters for cut out cookies.
- Large Baking Sheets: I have 4 of these and they really make baking cookies so much easier.
- Cookie Dough Scoops: This is the secret to making perfectly shaped cookies every time.
- Parchment Paper: Keeps cookies from sticking and over browning. Makes clean up a breeze.
- Wooden Rolling Pin: A good rolling pin is a must for rolling out perfect Christmas cookies every time.
- Cooling Racks: Cookies need to cool and a cooling rack allows air to circulate and helps the hot cookies cool quicker. It also makes drizzling baked cookies with melted chocolate or powdered sugar drizzle easier.
- Thin Metal Spatula: A wide flat metal spatula helps lift the cookies off the baking sheet without damaging the edges and keep the hot cookies from breaking when transferring them to the cooling rack.
- Spritz Cookie Press: A must have for making tradition Spritz Cookies for Christmas.
- Christmas Cookie Boxes: Planning a cookie exchange or love to share your Christmas cookies? Cookie Gift Boxes are perfect to keep the cookies from getting crushed.
