When the cookie cutter is full and the pulp smashed down well, push a sponge down on it and then squeeze the water out of it, repeat until you get most all of the water out. Carefully remove it from the cookie cutter and let air dry. I made these and poked holes into the tops of them when they were dry and glued ribbon into them and they were cute hanging off of bookmarks. I used small cookie cutters for them, larger ones kids can make, decorate and have Christmas ornaments. You could also string them together for a garland. This works for making "fabric" paper too. Blue jean fabric works even better for this, just have to cut it as small as these snippets first.
