Woodland Evergreen Tree Cookies (Tutorial)
I'm loving the woodland theme that has become so popular.
In fact, I decorated a trio of Christmas trees in my house with the woodland theme. :)
Naturally, I wanted to try my hand at making my own set of winter woodland cookies.
Evergreen trees can be done MANY ways.
Here's my latest version with a painted trunk.....
The Winter Whimsical Tree cutters are part of the CookieCrazie Custom cutter collection.
Outline and flood layers of green branches vertically on the tree cookie as shown below.
(Ignore the tree on the right that was completely flooded in green.)
After the base layers have dried for at least 15 minutes,
start adding lines of green for needles on the branches.
Make at least 2-3 layers of needles on the branches....allowing dry time between layers.
Dry the cookies over night.
Using a mixture of Americolor Chocolate Brown, Gold, and Bright White,
paint a trunk on the bare cookie center as shown below.
(Since the painted area is not sticking out like the branches are, it creates an added 3D effect.)
