DIRECTIONS
1. Dip the cutting edge of a cookie cutter into white heavy body acrylic paint (sold at art stores in 4-oz. tubs).

2. Stamp the cookie cutter onto a sheet of paper, starting at a top corner. If the paint is too thick or lumpy, add a few drops of water and stir gently until thinned and smooth.
3. Repeat the process, lining up or overlapping the shapes, to create simple patterns. Allow paper to air-dry thoroughly before wrapping gifts.
