In addition to the salt dough cookies that I've been sharing recently, I also made up a set of plaster snowflakes. Read on to see how you can make some yourself:

I started with this Wilton snowflake cookie pan that I found at the thrift store. Because it's a pan and not a set of cutters, I opted to use plaster to make my cookies. Once dry the plaster pops right out where salt dough can be a nightmare to get unstuck.
Another option is clay or modelling foam - both allow you to put the pan in the freezer and then pop out your frozen cookies without harming your designs. Just make sure to place your popped out shapes on a drying sheet before they thaw as once they do so the clay can mush.
After mixing and pouring the plaster into the cookie pan, I let it sit for 24 hours before popping out the shapes. Sometimes you might need to tap your pan against your counter top to get the shapes out. Do so gently to avoid cracking your plaster!
This popsicle tutorial shows you the plaster that I like to use.
After removing the plaster from the pan I like to let the shapes sit another day or so before painting. This allows the pieces to fully dry and prevents them from crumbling apart later once covered in paint.
I painted these snowflakes in a chocolate brown and then added 'icing' with white puffy paint.
And here are my plaster snowflakes!
