There is a reason why they are called cookie cutters. I have used them as templates for paper. Just take a cookie cutter and try to cut a piece of paper or fabric and see how it works for you. Pretty sure not. If you're wanting to use them as applique for a one time project then like feline fanatic stated. Go to keepsake. Maybe you can get a few friends to help you cut them up or any member of the family/friends.
