Mermaids using Santa cutters?!

Santa cutters?  To make mermaids?  Yup!  Let's just say that it's my own little "Christmas in July" party.  I love being able to re-purpose cutters!  I realize that it's a gift that I have that not everybody has.  Other people can sing and dance and reach the the top shelf of their kitchen cabinet without a stool.  Me?  I can make a mermaid from a Santa cutter.  #winning      

So which Santa cutters did I use for these cuties?

This Santa cutter is my current favorite to make Santa cookies.  It came in a set with some other Wilton holiday cutters. 

This cutter is Wilton's Santa comfort grip cutter.  Find it here.

I try to stick to my *average* sized cookie (say 3.25"-3.5") when I complete my orders.  It's ingrained in me, through my attempts at keeping things even-steven between my boys.  Otherwise known as my attempt at World Peace.

Sometimes, I still purchase mini cutters or extra big cutters because you just never know when you'll need them.  Lo and behold, an oversized Santa makes a great mermaid too!  Find this cutter here.   

So don't neglect those "out of season" cutters.  You might just find a shape that will work perfectly for your design!
