I was just wondering if anyone has attempted to make their own cookie cutters? I was thinking of trying to make some. I saw the article on here and thought I would give it a try!

Ive done it - but most often I use templates (unless I have to do a whole lot of the same shape)

these threads may help you if you make your own cutters or templates...

bonniebakes,
Thank you so much for getting those threads for me. I am going to try that also. I'm still trying to figure out how to search the website! It's still somewhat new to me. I really appreciate your help

obviously I'm a fan of making my own lol ......but seriously, why wouldn't u? Some advantages are you're not limited to the size of your cutter, since you can make your desired shape in any size you need, also you're not limited to the designs available.

For instance I just recently made a mod mom cookie cutter (made one before and gave it away, and had to make another...this time in a smaller size), and they don't even sell them, so if not for being adventurous enough to make my own I wouldn't have even been able to offer the cookies to my customer.

I did and worked great. I used the metal that TracyLH suggested and worked perfectly. Good Luck!

KHalstead and nesweetcake,
I bought some flashing to make some cookie cutters so I'm going to give it a shot! I am also going to try a template like bonniebakes does. This might sound like a stupid question but what is a mod mom cookie cutter?
