How to Decorate a Dreamcatcher Cookie

Posted by Anne Yorks on Wednesday, April 13, 2016

I have been dreaming of creating this cookie set for some time! I see feathers, arrows, and dreamcatchers everywhere - so much inspiration for cookie designs! It's perfect for birthdays, bridal and baby events...and Mother's Day!

Check out the video on how to create the dreamcatcher! We are using a new format for the videos to help show what tips we are using. Check it out!

Aren't the colors of this set so perfect? I'm not a big fan of color mixing. More often than not, I like to create colors using the gel straight from the bottle - no complicated color formulas to make these colors. However, when working with lighter colors, I do add a few drops of white. I find it makes a more solid looking pastel AND helps to reduce signs of butter bleed! We carry a full line of Americolor gels here!

Are you looking for the perfect brushed font? I used the Movus BrushPen from dafont.com. I made a $20 donation to the artist for the use of the font. It would be free for personal use! I loved this font, but wanted a few extra curls, so I modified it just a little bit. Take a look: 

 

Can you guess the cutter for the dreamcatcher cookie? It's the Wilton Duck (upside down!) This cutter is available here!

Here's a tip guide to creating this cookie. These tips are all available here!

 

Here are the cutters featured in this set. They are all $1.99 and are available online here - click for the: Feather cutter, teepee cutter, oval plaque cutter and arrow cutter.

 

Create a quick and easy accent cookie with the arrow stencil!

 

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!! Stay tuned for both the FEATHER and ARROW videos coming this week!!

 

Happy Decorating!
