Have a look at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Memory-Box-Die-SCHOOL-OF-FISH-98567-works-with-sizzix-and-cuttlebug-/221236151039 to see if they resemble the type of cut outs you want. The sizzix machines are sold by Hobbycraft, http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/advancedsearchresults.aspx?query=sizzix A lot of money if you are only looking for a few fish shapes but you may know someone who has one of the machines.

Good idea - I have one of the bigger sissix machines that I use for cutting my felt.

I don't know if my supplier does fish shapes but, if they did, what size fish would you want?

For little ones, a craft punch (the lever style are better than the button ones) would do the job perfectly. They're only a couple of pounds.

Thankyou pat will check it out my sister in law has one of those machines I'm sure she'd do them for me...
