How to make a Cookie Craft

Step 1: Cut Out a Bite

• Cut a scallop pattern in your paper plate, about 2 inches down. It should look like someone has taken a big bit out of the plate.

Step 2: Color the Cookie

• Turn the plate over so that it is bottom side up on your crafting surace.
• Use crayons or markers to color the bottom of the plate entirely. We used brown to imitate the look of a chocolate chip cookie.

Step 3: Add the Chips

• From scraps of black construction paper, cut little circle for the chips. They shouldn’t be perfect circles since chips are perfectly round.
• Use your glue stick to attach the chips to the paper plate cookie in a random pattern.

Step 4 (Optional): Make the Pouch

• If you’d like to turn this cookie into a pouch, repeat steps 1 through 3 to make an identical chocolate chip cookie craft.
• Sandwich the cookies together so that the “bite” is lined up and there is a pouch in the center.
• Staple all around the outside edge, keeping the staples about an inch apart.

Step 5(Optional): Add a Handle

• To finish off the cookie pouch, punch a hole on either side of the “bite” cutout.
• Cut 5 lengths of white yarn, about 1 yard long each.
• Tie a few knots randomly to hold the lengths of yarn together.
• Lace the ends of the yarn through each of the holes and tie a knot to keep it in place.
• Snip the ends of the yarn as needed.

Turn it Into a C is for Cookie Craft

To make this into a C is for Cookie craft could not be easier. All you need to do is draw and cut out a letter ‘C’ from construction paper. Then glue it right to the center of your cookie.
