All DIY brides, need program help!!!

I am finished printing and cutting, now I need to punch the holes for the ribbon, and the hole punch isn't long enough!!!!

Anyone know if they make a longer single hole punch???? Where??

Thanks,

Gina

Re: All DIY brides, need program help!!!

are they folded in half?

If so, can you punch from the side?

I am making a longwise program tied at the top with a ribbon, and I need to make the holes about an inch down, and the hole punch I have onl goes about 1/2 inch..

sounds like my programs, but I used a regular single hole puncher. Where did you get your puncher from? I got mine at Michael's. Maybe they have different sizes? How many pages are you punching through?

I'm only going through 4 pages, but it's the length of the hole punch, it doesn't go down far enough from the top. I have to go to Michaels'.......

My programs were like that too. I think I got my hole puncher in either Staples or Office Max.

Re: All DIY brides, need program help!!!

If you can't find a hole punch you can buy and eyelet etter kit which has a hole punch that will punch anywhere since it requires you to put the paper on top of a hard surface some even come with a mat (I use a wood cutting board) and then use place the hole punching tool over thelocation you wish the hole to appear and then uue the little hammer that comes with and tap the top of the tool and it will punch through .. the harder you hit with the hamemr the more pages you can go through .. I've punched about 5 sheets of cardstock at a time ... You can buy this from AcMoore or Michaels .. Theone I have is made by Creative Memories and would be found in the scrapbooking section.

Thanks! I made them myself. Well kind of. I had a print shop print and cut them for me, but I wrote the inside, bought all the paper and assembled them myself.
