Place one end on the cookie base and the other against the back of the cookie statue.", "Add a few drops of water to the remaining black royal icing and stir until the icing becomes more fluid. ""Flood"" or fill the inside of your piped circles.", "Let the icing completely dry for a several hours.", "Statue cookie cutters can be found at coppergifts.com.

The one used here is about 3 inches wide.", "", "UPDATE: The statue cutter is no longer available, but you can make the project using this Mummy Cutter. It's slightly smaller and the base is a bit different, but the concept will still work."]
