Materials:

coated cookie cutters
flexible plastic container
thread
hammer
weighted object

Step 1

Place cookie cutters flat in container. Cut lengths of thread; loop one around each cookie cutter. Affix both ends of each thread to edge of pan with a clothespin.

Step 2

Partially fill container with water, being careful to not cover cutters completely. If you like, sprinkle glitter inside cutters.

Step 3

Set outside (if cold enough) or in freezer. Place weight on top of cutters.

Step 4

Once frozen, pop out ice shapes from the cutters. If necessary, gently tap with hammer to remove extra ice. Tie thread ends together.
