Instructions  
(1) Melt clear UTEE in the Melting Pot. Add 2 scoops of Utee FLEX.

(2) Add desired To Dye For™ color(s) to the melted UTEE and stir.
TIP:
For a marbleized look, don’t stir too much!

(3) Prepare a cookie cutter by stamping onto the Emboss it pad to coat inside and outside edges. Ink acts as a release.

(4) Pour melted UTEE onto the Craft Sheet in the approximate size of the cookie cutter.

(5) Push the cookie cutter into the poured UTEE.

(6) Using your Kool Toolz Tweezers, push an eyelet into the top center (or from wherever you want your shape hung) of the cookie cutter shape while UTEE is still warm and pliable.

(7) Wait several minutes until cool enough to pick up. Peel off UTEE with cookie cutter from the Craft Sheet and pull away the excess UTEE from around the cookie cutter. The excess can be re-melted in the Melting Pot.

(8) Push UTEE shape through the cookie cutter. Clear out the eyelet hole.

(9) Run ribbon through the eyelet hole and hang in a window as a sun catcher or use as a holiday ornament or decoration!
