Get some cookie cutter "stock" from a craft store. Big circles or hearts work good. Easy to straighten.
Print or draw a picture of the shape the size you want (N.B. cookies spread in the oven) and glue it to some scrap.
Go around the outline and drill blind holes on the insides of the bends. The holes should be slip fit for your pegs/nails.
Drop 2 nails into adjacent holes, one innie & one outie and work your way around dropping nails in for the next bend.
Overlap the ends. I sharpened a 20d nail, still pyramid but sharp, and drove it through the lap and staked the result.
It takes minutes to make the jig and seconds to make the cutter and both can make good gifts.
Enjoy,
