I immediately tried thinking of where I put the box that housed MY cookie press. In the closet? In a box with my craft stuff? Surely not in my itty bitty kitchen? I put the baby to bed* and then went downstairs, found a flashlight, and looked under the TV stand. There it was, right where I hid it from a just-crawling-baby-who-wants-everything!<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I tried shaped bokeh with some black cardstock. I wanted the lights on my Christmas tree to be hearts in a photo of my kids (collective &#8220;Awwwwwwww!&#8221;). My Xacto knife was M.I.A. so I used a box cutter and ended up with a pretty crappy heart, but it still worked, as you can see! It got me super pumped and I had dreams of painstakingly cutting out tiny shapes onto cardstock for various filters. Fast forward to the evening when I see someone used their cookie press discs as shaped-bokeh filters and I go on my little hunt. <\/p>\n<p>results:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/4170629425\/\" title=\"cookie press discs by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2791\/4170629425_409c9bfe12.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"cookie press discs\" style=\"border:3px solid black\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>the little dome has a tiny star shaped tip:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/4170628795\/\" title=\"star lights by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2773\/4170628795_a64bcd0bb3.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"star lights\" style=\"border:3px solid black\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/4170628097\/\" title=\"shaped lights [3] by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2546\/4170628097_061f1a9bf9_m.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" alt=\"shaped lights [3]\" style=\"border:3px solid black\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/4171385788\/\" title=\"shaped lights [2 by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2690\/4171385788_5fd1217a42_m.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" alt=\"shaped lights [2\" style=\"border:3px solid black\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/4170628615\/\" title=\"shaped lights [1] by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2795\/4170628615_57fd19dc92_m.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"240\" alt=\"shaped lights [1]\" style=\"border:3px solid black\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><BR><br \/>\n<BR><BR><br \/>\n<code><font size=\"-1\">*This is some feat!
