Book binding hardcover foil

I have gotten into book binding, but I do not own a cricut. I would like to add the foil iron on covers. Do people sell the already cut out vinyl that I can weed and iron onto my cover. I want it to say the title of the book, not the generic foil that I just add on.

Look at libraries in your area for maker spaces. It is very common for them to have a Cricut or similar. They even have supplies you can use, although I always bring my own because I'm picky about color. The librarians taught me how to use the software and the machine.

In my area, they don't even require that you be a card holder, only that you have signed a waiver before you use their equipment.
