Answer 1

This website is helpful if you have anything like a metal ribbon that you can bend. If not then depending on what you need I would recommend taking something like a glass cup upside down for circles, a butter knife for straight edged designs, maybe even like a soup or vegetable can. Just look around your house and see what could be used.

Answer 2

I do. Go to the hardware and buy a few feet of copper sheet, about 15 gauge. Pick up a pair of tinsnips, small pliers, a few short lenths of differently shaped dowel rods, about 6" long, a sodering iron and some heavy gauge copper wire, soder and flux. Get the copper sheet cut into a 2" strip. Pick up a pair of heavy work gloves, go home and roll about a 1/4 to a 1/2 in flange down on one side of your copper pieces.
If you just want elementary shapes for your cutters, shape them by hand. Wear your gloves, use your pliers and dowels to help make your shapes. Round is easy-wrap around a bottle or glass. Fun shapes will take a bit of drawing (Or at least tracing) talent. Outline pictures in books for deer, angels or whatever. When you have your shapes defined, take the rolled wire strip and trace the cookie cutter shapes with the copper strip. Use your tools to help define shapes. Leave a 1" overlap on your design, and use your soder and flux to soder the overlap spot, and add a nice handle with the copper wire. Get the hubby to help cut the metal if tools freak you out. Voila! Custom cookie cutters, for the more artistically inclined of you.

Making a cookie cutter, no. But if you dont have one handy and you need one, you can always just use a plastic knife, and shape your cookies yourself! It gives each cookie a unique touch, and you'll have fun makin them. on the other hand, if you need to get things done quickly, you can use a can. Using a can opener, take of the entire lid, and empty it. Then you can use it to make perfect round cookies. You can also use different sized cans to make different sized cookies! Hope this helps, happy holidays!

Answer 5

not a hanger. Even if you manage to twist it into the right shape, the roundness of the metal will squish rather than cut the sides.
Dont have any ideas for you, other than a paper towel tube will make round...

Answer 6

you could constantly use Pillsbury Sugar Cookie mixture interior the roll premade or interior the equipment you're making your self. as long as you upload a sprint flower to the mixture this is basically no longer as sticky so which you would be able to roll it out. you could cookie cut back those no subject!.. basically bake them because of the fact the guidelines say yet in straightforward terms till at last the perimeters start to gently brown then take them out.. they are going to stay mushy longer! and you will beautify them!.. They proceed to cook dinner on the pan once you're taking them out so take them out ASAP and enable them to relax on the pan. good good fortune.. they are my prominent!! :)
