TY Creative Crafts!
🌟Glitter Letters🌟
On the 5th of March 2018, the TY arts and crafts class made glitter letters. We each were given the letter of our first name. Ms. Dunne gave us all metallic paint and glitter. We chose whatever colours we wanted to paint with and covered our letters in lots of glitter! We let them dry over a week and then painted the other side of our glitter letters. It was loads of fun and they are a nice and easy decoration to make. They also make lovely gifts.
💁🏼♀️Make up bags🌈😍
Two weeks ago, we also personally decorated make-up bags as seen on @lovehomeec Instagram giveaway. We went to the computer room and printed off stencils of anything we wanted, the favourite stencil was letters, once again. The letters were the easiest to cut out and looked great on the bag. We glued our stencils to our makeup bags and painted whatever colours and designs we wished. We painted one side of the makeup bag and let it dry for a week. Some people added glitter to their makeup bags which was a nice addition. The following week we painted the other side of our makeup bags and took off the stencils. Tios 1 was definitely left sparkling after our glittertastic creations!

Choose whatever sweet additions you like though, from smarties to hazelnuts there's definitely something for everyone.
After some recipe tweaking here's the basic cookie dough ingredients and method.

After some recipe tweaking here's the basic cookie dough ingredients and method.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cream butter for 2-3 mins using an electric mixer or a wooden spoon if you are feeling energetic!
- Add both sugars and continue to mix until paler in colour and soft.
- Separate one egg and beat this with one whole egg in a measuring jug. Add vanilla extract.
- Add egg into butter/sugar mixture and beat in until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Stir flour and baking powder into mixture - I don't user the electric mixture for this as it tends to over-mix and makes the cookies tough.
- Finally stir in your chosen addition around 300g of chocolate chips is ideal.
- Using clean floured hands quickly roll the mixture into balls. This makes around 20.
- Place on a baking tray well spaced apart as they do tend to spread a little. You'll probably need to bake in 2-3 separate batches.
- Bake for 15 - 17 mins until golden around the edges.
- Remove from tray and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
