Auto parts stores carry sheets of gasket material. Below is an example of many types available from O’Reilly auto online or many in their stores.

To make your own gaskets, I strongly recommend a hole punch kit, as it’s difficult to cut small round holes with an Xacto knife. Place the gasket material over a wood board when using the punches so they don’t get dull when they break through. I use this one from Harborfreight: https://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-hollow-punch-set-3838.html
You can also use the punches where you need inside-radiused corners – punch holes to get those curved corners and then cut the rest of the gasket with a knife.
