"C" Is For "Ceiling." Or, Apparently, "Cookies."

So, what's a girl to do with the holes punched out of the foam board ceiling? Make cookies, of course!

A few weeks ago, when I made the Girl Scout Cookie boxes, I got them from an online printable that also had cookies to go with the boxes:

I had no plans to put cookies into the boxes as I fill the food boxes with wood pieces and glue/poly them shut for durability. But, my brain started working on how to utilize the cookie pieces. Hmmm ...

Last night, I decided they would look good stuck on to the foam circles from the ceiling 😁. Here's what I did:

After swiping and wiping the printable with the microglaze to set the ink, I cut all of those little suckers out. It sounds more tedious than it was. It helps to have something excellent on TV, too. Anyway, I cut out two per cookie, one for the top and one for the bottom.

So, here are my little pieces. As they are quite thick, I smushed all of them:

The smushed one is a little more cookie sized to me:

Okay, as it was late at night, and I was on a roll, I didn't take pictures of the in-between process. What I did was color the edges of the foam pieces with either alcohol ink marker or Sharpie, depending on what color I needed, just so they weren't white. I called my color matching system, "Close Enough."

Then, one by one, I swiped a foam piece with some Fast Grab glue and stuck on the top. I did all of one side of each cookie before going back and doing the other. This allowed the glue to dry completely so I could also trim cookie paper pieces that were a little too large. Believe that this was not a perfect process. I called this trimming system, "Good Enough."

After attaching both sides of the cookies, it was time to poly them. While I definitely wanted the sheen from the poly, I also wanted these to be durable. The process finally did become just a little tedious once the clock went past 11 p.m., so I had no interest in the paper cookie parts crumbling down the road!

They dried enough that I could poly both sides before going to bed. Hooray!

And, this morning?!

While certainly thicker and more sandwich cookie-like, when looking at them from the side, than a Girl Scout Cookie, I think they are just absolutely fabulous!

That baking island is really getting loaded with options in case those chocolate chip cookies fail!

Oh, my gosh, that was FUN! And, it's the perfect use for the little jar! I'm pretty sure I bought that at a Christmas shop in Michigan this summer (The lady there also had a small sections of miniatures over which I droooooooled ... Christmas AND miniatures in the SAME PLACE?! Ahhh ...).

And, next?! I really really think it's a Fall project seeing as we're running out of September! Stay tuned!
