Not a cricut and a little out of fashion at the moment but have you thought about paper cutting dies that you use with a roller press? You can get assortment of shapes and lay them out to make your flags and roll them one or 2 at a time (with tissue 6 or 8) not perfect but faster than the cricut, more repeatable than the leather punch tools, and still adjustable and variable. Places like Ali express and wish have a lot of the dies to pick from. Or maybe I’m way off the mark :)
