Paper Punches

Hello all,

Today  was lucky to find these paper punches, 3 at a very affordable price of a little over five US$.
I just browsed around looking for some acrylic paint when I came across these.  I was so happy with my find that when I was back home, I sat down right away to make flowers.

I think I am addictive to paper punches.  I already own quite a few.  The problem is that it's very
hard to find here good quality ones and even harder to find tiny scale ones.



The large and medium round punches are what I was looking for a long time.  These will
make good paper plates and place mats. The flower punch saved me a lot of time in making these
peonies.




The vase is a very beautiful bead with quite a large hole, suitable for a bunch of flowers.

I wish you all a lovely weekend and blessings

    What a good purchase! You made beautiful peonies. <3 Drora, I have this same punch but why, why, why it doesn't give me as pretty flowers as yours!? Have a great weekend! :)

    Great finds, Drora! I learned a trick from a local master flower maker. She showed me that when your punch starts to get dull, you punch some kitchen aluminum foil used for baking a few times through the punch. The punch is sharp again! Your flowers are gorgeous! xo Jennifer

    Drora, the peonies are wonderful work :D! I also use the same method as Jennifer for sharpen the punches, if they are getting dull, it works fine :D!
    Here in The Netherlands the tiny punches are hard to find because they are not trendy anymore for craftwork :(!
    Hugs, Ilona

    Vos punchs ont exactement la taille qu'il faut pour réaliser des fleurs et elles sont parfaitement réussies.Rien de tel que des plantes pour donner de la vie à une scène!
    Bon dimanche!!
