I'm looking for a decorative hole punch, preferably 1" wide, circle, square or similar. I need it to be able to punch the shape around 1" in from the edge of the paper.
Anyone have any ideas? Any companies they'd recommend?
Ta in advance

Can't recall anything offhand, but I remember see loads of things like that on Ebay in the craft section, might be worth having a little womble through there. There is a little machine with a funny name that does that sort of thing, can't for the life of me remember what its called though, sorry!

That's the sort of thing LLL but instead of a border its a shape. Its the longer reach bit that I'm finding hard to find.

Maybe Ruth. It's only to cut thin paper though.

Then you would possibly have to back your paper with blotting paper each time to cushion the cut.

You're not likely to find a leather punch with a 1" diam.

Paper punches don't have the range to punch 1" from the edge unfortunately, except for the pliers type and the largest circle is way below 1" diam

Have a look at Do Crafts web site. I know you can buy long reach punches coz I've seen them.

Ellen says that Sizzix paddle punches are great for what you want Corrie. Ellen makes cards etc so she knows. Says to look on Ebay.
