well buying so many lovely cookie cutters can be very expensive so is there a way or a trick in making my own with the same result as using a cookie cutter?

Here is a link to the tutorial for making your own cookie cutters. I have several that my DH made for me by following this tutorial. They were very easy to make and work just like the ones you would buy anywhere. HTH
