How Do You Cut Out Small Shapes Without A Cutter?

I often have things that are made from fondant that arent available in cutters or not worth buying a cutter for 1 design. For instance i have a baby minnie mouse cake that requires small bows around the edge. Normally i use an xacto knife but lately ive noticed it tears or misforms my item from dragging. How do you cut out small objects without cutters?
It depends on how teeny they are. Sometimes I can use little scissors to cut pieces out. If they're too small, I roll my fondant out on a little cutting board and put it in the freezer for a few minutes to harden it up. That way it doesn't pull when I'm dragging the blade. Its helpful to have some cornstarch on hand though, because the fondant will start to sweat 
HTH!
I sometimes use my pastry tips as cutters. They work great for small circles
You could put some shortening on your blade for a smoother cut.
