Hole Punch

[craftyc]

I've seen a tutorial on how to cover note books, but because they are wired, the lady used a hand punch to cut the holes so the paper covered the whole page and looked neat. It wasn't a circle punch, more tiny rectangles. Dont know if I'm making any sense(LOL) but would really like to find one. I do have a BIA and make my own books but would like to try this method as well. Any idea's as to where I can get one would be great.

if you mean small holes the wire goes through to hold pages together then you can get differnt size and shape single hole punches but not sure if thats what you mean if you google single hole punches it should come up with some and also ebay

Was it maybe a binding machine ? that would cut those type of holes that would run down the spine of the book :)

Yes, I was also thinking of a binding machine. I have one and they are cheap to buy now and easy to use. Most good stationers stock them.

Sorry ladies, I have the Bind it all. Its when you purchase a notepad that already has the binding. In the tutorial she was using a hand held hole punch but it wasn't circle shaped, more small rectangles so when you;d punch the paper it would slot over the binding and cover the pad and line up with the punch holes in the pad, still cant find one:confused:

Fiskars do a range of single hole punches they look like a pair of pliers. I have one that does a round hole but they do squares, rectangles, hearts etc.etc.

HTH :)

I know a few people who have the Bind It All so I'll ask them if they know about these special punches. Will get back to you!

Hi - well I've had one suggestion so far - not sure if it's exactly what you want though. Have a look at www.lakeland.co.uk (http://www.lakeland.co.uk) and enter Code Ref: 30503 in the search box.

Even if it's not what you're after, don't give up - I shall keep asking :)

what your describing sounds like a single hole punch if you google that it might be what your after they do look like pliers
