You asked how to do it cheaply and we are telling you how to. I cut, mask, and paint things all the time. It's very easy. How much does it cost? My plotter costs $10,000, but it's very sophisticated. You don't need all of that. You can get a good used brand name one for $1000 or so, or you can buy a brand new Chinese one for probably $500.
For less than $1000, you could be making the products you want.
