Preheat the oven to 100C fan-forced and line two baking sheets with baking paper.

Combined the sugar and flour in the bowl of an electric mixer and then with the motor running, slowly add the water until the dough comes together.

Turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it out until it is about 2cm thick.

Cut out shapes using cookie cutters and place them on the baking trays (they won't really expand so you can put them pretty close together).

Stamp them using a rubber stamp if you want a design or word imprinted.

Use a straw to make holes in the tops so you can hang them.

Bake for 3-5 hours or until they are completely dried out.

Leave to cool.

To decorate with glitter, first draw your pattern in glue and then coat in glitter and shake off the excess.

Leave to dry before adding any other colours or decorations.
