How To Make A Dog Bone Shaped Cookie Cutter

For those of you that make your own dog cookies, you might want to try your hand at making a cookie cutter.
 
I used a type of copper that is alloyed with brass, so it was very springy, but it’s what I had on hand at the time. (The benefit of having parents that own a metal shop ) This why the straight parts of the cookie cutter are slightly rounded & that the ends didn’t properly glue together. Pure copper is much softer and behaves a lot better when you bend it.

If you want to buy metal stock to make your own cookie cutters, check your local hobby shop OR you can buy it here.

And if you loved this tutorial, check out my blog for a bunch of other pet related crafts! Need a dog coookie recipe to go with your spanky new cookie cutter? My website has about 200  free ones!!

Step 1 Tools and Materials

You will need; tin snips, round nose and chain nose pliers, 5 minute epoxy glue, any kind of string, sand paper, clothes pins, a round something or another for bending, copper stripping and a picture template of your choice. I got my picture from a free clip art website.

My sister was just saying yesterday that she would like some truck, bus and earth mover cookie cutter's for her toddler son. . . who is fascinated by such things.  Maybe he'll explain to Auntie Marya what the difference is between a front end loader and a Back loader, so I can make make the tools.

 With pure copper stripping and a picture template, the only thing that limits you is your imagination! Thanks for the compliment on the website, it took me quite sometime to get the dog cookie recipes together, but it was worth it!

I've found that an empty tin of those dutch cookies works very well for something like this. It is a little stiffer than copper though! It is also solderable and rivetable.

Very neat, I'd suggest just brazing the ends together with a lead free solder.

good idea! I'lll have to read up on brazing.
