I bought some shaped hole punchers the other day cause I was curious about using them to do more with the paper scraps I have and

Oh

my God.

this is so fun.

I prefer the slightly bigger one than the minis purely because it feels more comfortable to hold and seems like it wouldn't give me hand cramps as badly (admittedly, I should keep up with hand stretches and taking breaks). Is this where people enjoy getting all the different cardstocks... to be hole punched...

And then, of course, I was curious about how one goes about getting a custom made hole puncher. The commissioning option I saw was, well

I may be rich in spirit but oughroh... Understandable though because it involves carving metal... jotting down metal crafting as a potential hobby...

The other option I saw from some youtube videos was cutting either a blade (genuinely concerning how easily one creator's scissors cut through the razor blade, like amazing, but also ??? should it be that easy???) or a soda can and shaping it that way. Chances are I won't get around to that until maybe the summer or, at the very least, when this semester finishes, but I think it'd be a neat challenge in designing strong silhouettes. I could make a hole puncher of my ships or characters... or at least have their energy there, yes.

ooooh that does sound like fun! a soda can seems like an accessible way to try making one for yourself, too
