So easy to use and I think it will be a lot cheaper than having to buy the packs. I hate to order them and then I have to wait for them to come in when you want to sew!
For me I found this was the perfect weight and paper. Brand of color doesn't matter, your preference. It's the weight of the paper so that it's heavy enough to make your Hexie but not so heavy that it's hard to punch them out. That could break your punch.
I think I paid $15 and I got 95 sheets. Hope to find paper cheaper someplace else. I can get 20 punched out of one sheet of paper. So that makes 1900, I paid $20.00 for a pack of 600. At least that's almost a 30 Dollar savings or more. I can take the time to punch out my own Hexie's. If I punch out all 95 sheets it will officially pay for my punch and my Hexie's.


The brand is only a suggestion it's the weight of the paper that counts.
Mine's made by Fiskars.


Remember ladies, if you try to punch more than 1 sheet at a time
you could break your punch.

I'd like to see a visual of your great find. All the fabric from the thirties sounds delightful.
peace

Yesterday we got to Michael's and I found the same punch by Fiskars. We used a Hobby Lobby 40% coupon which they honor, since they only had 15% at Michael's. Making some with magazine ads as suggested, but have lots of scrapbook paper at home. Will post photos when I get home, as I'm using DD's computer here.
