International Make Your Own Cookie Cutter Gift Set

I needed to bake 100 butter paddle cookies and was unable to find a 'cutter to replicate the shape. Fortunately, I stumbled on this 'kit' and figured there was no harm in trying.The kit arrived and looked somewhat basic. A board with plastic feet, with a screw holding a 1" (or so) tall, 1/4" diameter piece of plastic. Two additional pieces of plastic, which slide over the attached ones constitute the tools for shaping. A length of metal, along with some tape and instructions, complete the kit.Instructions are simple, but make sense. Metal strip is easy to bend, whilst able to retain required shape. Tools provided are great. Cutting the strip with scissors was no problem. Tape, strong and durable. Sturdy box, good for containing metal strip.Just think through the design and make the best use of the curve of the metal (it comes curved in the box), before making the first bend.Cookies turned out well, so I continued with a second customized cutter, which was just as easy to create. I'll definitely purchase metal refill when the time comes.

I had ordered a set years ago, obviously from a different company. It came with a strip of metal and some instructions. So, that’s what I was expecting from this set (no, I didn’t research it - I was ordering while at lunch when my boss said she wished she could make cookies with our logo. So, I searched Amazon and ordered the first set that offered “buy now” and then told her that I would have a cookie cutter in her hands in about a week. Anyway, this set contains a MUCH higher quality, heavier gauge metal strip, a work board, 2 sizes round shaping tools, a tool with two different pointed ends, and super sticky tape to secure the ends together. The only problem I had was shaping our logo, which is pretty detailed, but it turned out really well. For someone who has never done this, I would recommend watching some YouTube videos on making cookie cutters. Another hint. I printed our logo and taped it to a piece of plywood. I put nails at each of the turns so that I could get sharp, straight lines.

Love that this gives you the chance to get creative with your own shapes, but it takes some practicing to get the right shape. The sheet metal is thin and takes easily takes shape, and once it’s bent, it’s hard to get it back to a smooth shape/edge. It’s also hard to get the same smoothness/shape on both ends (the bottoms side that goes into the cookie and the top part that you press down). Once the shape is completed and sealed, there’s no protection for the top of the cookie cutter to protected your hand while pushing it down to cut. I recommend putting something on top to press if you are cutting thicker dough

I can't believe how easy this is!I needed a cookie cutter of a certain iconic marshmallow bunny so I decided to give this a try. I followed the basic directions: measure the length of tin needed, cut with a scissors and began bending. I didn't even read their "walk-thru" of making a cutter. I made one bend then stopped and remeasured my design but this time I marked any angles on my string then transferred these marks to the tin. I created my angles, bent the curves and taped the tin (per instructions) then tweaked the shape. My total time from measuring to tweaking was under 10 minutes! I assume the tape is some kind of epoxy since it has to cure for 1 hour in the oven (or 3 days). I'll use the oven so I can get on with my baking.BTW - I bought two kits as it was cheaper than buying the kit plus refill due to Amazon Prime shipping on the kits but not the refill. I already have plans for a second cutter.

I thought this seemed like a good deal with the 6' of aluminium and shaping plate, but I found it to be difficult to use to get the shapes that I needed. I will draw a template for the shape i want and use that to make bends in the aluminum but that is difficult to do using the plates. I am not easily able to use the template with the plate. Also, the aluminum strip doesn't have a bended edge which makes the shape feel flimsy and easily distorted.I've made cookie cutters in the past using pliers and other items around the house which i think is much easier and I can find 10' aluminum strip with a bended edge for <$10.

I was given very short notice for a large cookie order of a custom shape. I had ordered a cutter of Etsy, but even with expedited shipping I had a feeling I wouldn’t get it on time, so I ordered this kit and I’m so glad I did, it saved me!I will say - this is not the easiest task. It took me well over an hour to get my shape bent out, it wasn’t 100% perfect but almost. It took some trial and error to figure out how to best use the tools. Now that I know, it seems silly that I didn’t realize how to effectively use them at first but I wish it came with some instructions for the tools. I wish the board that it came with was a little bigger as well. There’s another kit out there that doesn’t come with the tools - you need the tools, spring the extra few bucks and get them.The materials are excellent quality. Once I got my shape done & glued (I did the quick method), I cut 100 cookies without any issue. It washed up without issue, too. I hope I never have to rush & make my own cutter again but if I do - I will use this kit for sure.

The tools were so very useful. I made a cookie cutter for an even up coming. There is no way to buy a cookie cutter so specialized. This was great. The cookies will be the hit of the party.

I have a small home based cookie business. Since purchasing this set, I feel more confidant that I can fill my customers' orders as they wish because if they want a particular shape, I know there is a great chance I can make the cutter to custom fit their designs. I have made logo designs that would have been impossible before because no one made a cutter in just the right shape.I have fun creating my own cutters now. Simple and easy to use. Sometimes it is a little difficult to get just the right bend if the design is intricate but for the most part, I no longer spend upwards of $12.00 a cutter for the shapes I want.

El kit es bueno, pero si no tienes habilidades manuales/precisas definitivamente no es un producto para ti. Debo agregar que no cuenta con ningún instructivo por lo que deberás utilizar tu ingenio. Como detalle extra la cantidad de metal es muy poca, cuando mucho podrás hacer 5 cortadores de galletas de 10cm aprox.

Handy little kit, easy to use. Besides of its simplicity i find it a bit pricey, maybe because its quiet a novelty so not many competing brands - i was searching for something like this a good while when i came across this one and i did not find any other kit on the whole net similar to this. As soon as i got it i tested it on a quiet sophisticated shape, a leaf with complicated details and all the serrations and - voila, success! So now i have a fantastic detailed cutter nowhere to be found in the world of pre-made cutters! Ofcourse is not for a cookie. For unique jewellery making. Shame i did not make a photo of it, i could upload it now. To to say the least, i am more than pleased. I recommend it to everyone crafty and dextrous.

Wonderful product, very easy to use and shape. Easily made 4 medium size yet intricate designs and could make a fifth. Lots of fun. Ideal for creative people and the odd occasion where traditional cookie cutters just won't do. The cost for the material is a tad high, but it is a fully customizable cookie cutter maker.

Easy to use

I bought this to make my own ceramic jewelry on a slightly larger scale than hand cutting. This product is awsome!! Only drawback to it, is that unlike commercially make cutters, you have a sharpish edge on the top, however, this is also an asset as it means your shape is reversible. What I did to protect my hands (clay is a lot harder than biscuit dough and fondue), is I used a flat object like an old credit card to cover the shape and then pushed down. I would recommend this if you are baking with children and you want the shape to remain reversible.
