You are in deep S**T!!
Panic and pull ya finger out!!! Lol!!!!

That is what exactly happened to me a few years back. A young lady came to my cake shop with an image taken from the web asking if I could make her these cookies for her sons christening. https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWBNYGoujYep2ezyBsDqhHxRJbjoAJqwx29gusvXCuCQ/0.jpg No problem I said, took the order and set to work to find and order the cookie cutters, that was like 3 weeks in advance so wasn’t worried until… These are the cookie cutters I ordered https://steemitimages.com/DQmVTQhANoqLJpi9ucD6kYsvtuveKBzSCLmxH3HCUKySdae/1.jpg Source The Thursday before the Saturday (2 days) when I needed to get these cookies made I rung the company up has the cutters had still not arrived and they assured me that I would have them by end of the day… Was I really supposed to believe them? Errr… NOT A CAT IN HELL CHANCE!!!!!! I really started to panic after the phone call and I knew I had to do summat as I this lady had ordered only 250 cookies, so out came the tools and got stuck in to make. Luckily this was not the first time I had made my own cookie cutters so I had my anvil, hammer and stripes of metal, https://steemitimages.com/DQmY7369vc7qouphRGB7TsVaCJm7BxRFt9QYtnMdaSRFQwF/2.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmQxsPLdUTwhwtM69onGLRzhTxgwMLtSWjxaC6qh3CVk8p/5.jpg All I needed to do was prepare the cardboard shapes and the stripes of paper that I use to mark where the bends are to be and in which direct they needed to go in order to get the shape I was making. https://steemitimages.com/DQmSHA12aMWpGrMYQ9thoPbd8Qo7gSYZxK6MKS5a99V5Z1z/3.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmaTann83vtc8mRbFu2gQvt91syzydCV4WezWQyAv9mxvT/4.jpg https://steemitimages.com/DQmcLZcCvB7rLHZp1LBGGX59p1EpJqeAX8ZmGN3fwH33okJ/6.jpg I really do not have any fancy tools or way of making my own cookie cutters, I just used what I had at my disposal and they do the job, lol https://steemitimages.com/DQmRxGNLnXPojgUqYdHPYMHxyLz5852gdKMv9RvBW3NoyVr/8.jpg ![20.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTFq8EhU6hTDwQxsDaciK6RvW7T4xMzfwHCZMdS1miZNA/20.jpg) ![21.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSBx3t584nDYdpr8sbMp2XaaLH28BjbyfpAY1cigiN71d/21.jpg) ![22.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWC7oWZsfKcGTA4AwUmsu8VzAnhsbQQTcz32NGsGVr6Rn/22.jpg) ![23.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeN2AT1SJ6ajrndD8JLns4T9KCds9ya8scnpXCwdY6AJe/23.jpg) ![24.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPmj8HCQHXHib746WqVMscSziyptGo2STQRoDTtpuLaQq/24.jpg) ![25.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeTmr7HeMHbNoRnocGYioUecVZHArti6fcvuhQp9qx7LB/25.jpg) ![26.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQdyMyNfTGnt6TzTwtUUAZVKAaSpVArgUSqt7SwCz1Ryf/26.jpg) ![27.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNuckcp4pLMGACbdi7nK2coas7qCficysm1Qm1cdtMUrS/27.jpg) ![28.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeQZHxRhtRNYeGpRQNtK7zqzfakEPo4zsteqPox6TUmyV/28.jpg) ![29.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXZWKwxKme9wtamJps6KJucyPnwsbV7vj1EdUiskyipQk/29.jpg)

![30.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmduV4ndngcBkAufi387aZMQgBPkbVn19MhLbFwSELqQUi/30.jpg) Does anyone in the Steemit community make their own cookie cutters? if so I would love to see them. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to share just exactly how I made them until then
