DIY Cookie pins!

This DIY is super easy just like baking cookies! Roll decorate and bake. You will need:

• Sculpey Clay
• Tooth picks
• A straw
• Pin backs
• Rolling pin or glass bottle
• Hot glue gun

I'm using scalloped edge cookie cutters. Got the round ones from Daiso (of course) and the heart shaped one is an oldie that has been in the family.

I'm using a little rolling pin from Daiso which is a perfect silicone material to easily wash off clay.

Cut out two cookies to make a cream filled biscuit!

I'm mixing 'Dusty Rose' and 'White' to make an edible looking strawberry cream filling.

Taking the 'cream filling' clay into a ball and flattening it, pull it a part to get a dripping effect as if the cream filling is oozing out strawberry goodness.

Take a tooth pick and poke biscuit holes. Get creative and customize your cookie! Poke in your name or a friends name in and give it to them! 

Sandwich it all together! Done.

Taking your 'dough' color mix cut out another cookie. The white frosting is 'Pearl' which has a pretty silver sparkle running through it. I like to paint a coat of clear nail polish on my finish projects sometimes to accentuate how glittery the clay is but in this case I'm leaving the clay to make the cookies look more edible. For the frosting I simply flattened out an oval shape and pulled it into a heart shape. If you bevel the edges of the frosting a little onto the cookie it gives it looks as if a thick layer of royal icing was spread on!

'Spring Lilac' 'Sky Blue' and a custom mint color for the sprinkles. Don't roll out your sprinkles too thick or thin, think slightly thicker than actual round sprinkles. Use a straw and twist out a circle. If you press all the way down the clay might get stuck in the straw but no worries because if it gets stuck just blow it out! 

Bake both your cookies at 275 degrees for 15 minutes and let them cool.

These are pin backs I found at a craft store, probably around $4 for a whole bag. Hot glue them down and you're ready to go. Make sure to buy pin backs according to the shape and size of the pins you'll be making.
