Sand 'N Surf: Cookie Palm Tree (Tutorial)
To make a cookie Palm Tree you will need:
- 8 mini Round Cookies (mine were 1-1/8")
- 3 slightly larger Round Cookies (mine were 1-3/8")
- 2 Point-y Flower or Star Cookies
- Dark Brown 10-Second Glaze
- Tan 10-Second Glaze
- Green 10-Second Glaze
The size of your mini round cookies does not have to be the same as mine.
I just used the cutters that I had.
The main thing is to have about three cookies that are slightly
larger than the original eight mini-sized cookies you use.
Ignore the leaf cookies in these photos. They didn't end up working..... |
Outline & Flood the "back side" of the flower or star cookies with green glaze.
Allow to dry for a few hours.
Assemble your round cookies
in the order you want them stacked as the palm tree trunk.
The larger circles give it that uneven "wonky" look. ;)
"Glue" the stack of rounds together with dark brown glaze.
Place something next to them to hold them upright.
(Avoid the loud "plunk" sound I heard from across the house when mine fell over!)
Allow them a few hours dry time.
Cover the trunk in dark brown glaze.
After 20-30 minutes, add some tan glaze accents.
Turn the flower/stars over and flood the "top side" with green glaze.
Allow the trunk and palms to dry several hours or overnight.
"Glue" the palms on top of the trunk.
