Making Adinkra Cookie Cutters with a 3D Printer
Create your design
To make cookie cutters from adinkra shapes, you will need to create the outline of shapes. Just like a cookie cutter for xmas trees or gingerbread people, the cutting edge is the perimeter. So it will work better on some shapes than others. Here are 5 examples where we already created the outline, just to get you started.
