Instructions

This unique DIY Valentine's Day gift tag looks like a real cookie, but it's really a handmade salt dough ornament with fake Mod Podge Dimensional Magic jelly! Fun for a birthday or Mother's Day, too.1. Prepare, cut and bake your “cookies.” Major brownie points if you’re able to get them perfectly golden. If not, don’t worry! We’ll fix them in the next step. Allow to cool completely.

Now to make your perfectly browned cookies . . . with bronzing powder. Gently brush the edges with a make up brush and bronzer. Don’t go too crazy. You want them to look like they’re fresh out of the oven, not fresh out of Jersey Shore. Don’t they look more realistic now?

First, make a border around the edge of the cookie with your glue to prevent the Dimensional Magic from dripping off. Apply a liberal amount of Dimensional Magic to the center of the back cookie.

Using the toothpick, mix in gel food coloring until you are happy with the color. Don’t worry if you don’t add enough Dimensional Magic; you can add more after the cookies are sandwiched together.

Squeeze the two cookies together and lay perfectly flat until the Dimensional Magic is completely dry.

Once the Dimensional Magic is hard, you’re good to go with your Valentine’s Day gift tag! Just string your wrapping ribbon through the small wire and tie a big, beautiful bow. I promise, your Valentine is going to love you!
