1. The dip and swirl technique. Put white royal icing in a shallow bowl and then put a ribbon of colored royal icing on top. Swirl together and dip your cookies and dip into the icing.
2. Wet on wet technique. Cover your cookie with royal icing and then while it is still wet squeeze out dots of royal icing on top. The dots will sink into the icing. The icing must be flooding consistency for this technique to work.
3. Squiggle technique. Just squiggle lines of colored royal icing on top of the cookie
4. Bling bling technique. Use diamond dust from @thesugarart to add a pop of bling to an uniced cookie
5. Highlight detail technique. Highlight one detail with royal icing and leave the rest of the cookie without icing
6. Cover and sparkle technique. Cover the cookie with a pretty color of royal icing and then add diamond dust from The Sugar Art
Put the cookies in a clear bag and top with a cute gift tag and bow.
