Great tutorial. I was looking at a great sale on the mini cinch and wondered what size wires - you explained that perfectly. I also saw the reviews that customers said they cut not cinch the wires round and you covered that also.

Thanks! I’m preparing one comparing the regular size to the mini. I’ve had a few people ask me because they don’t know which one would be the best choice. Hope you get one and have fun with it. 🌹

They would make great swatch books, for stencils, emboss folders, stamps and inks etc. to take when shopping to avoid double purchases. I would use index card size and add eyelets to back to use elastic to keep closed. I currently use rings , but this would be neater.

This may be my favorite tutorial to date. ❤. Beautifully done Paula. So many great hints/tips. I have had a regular Cinch in my craft room for many years. I bought it at a thrift store several years back for next to nothing. This video gives me the inspiration to pull it out and try yo use it. I hope you do the comparison video between the regular and mini someday.

@craftingwithpaula 9 ай бұрын

I agree!!

@craftingwithpaula 9 ай бұрын

You can actually use smaller or bigger diameters. What you can’t use is one that has a different distance between the wires. That’s why it uses a 2:1. This means two holes in 1 inch.

@traceybartlam7737 9 ай бұрын

@@craftingwithpaulaso smaller than 5/8”? That’s great thanks. The more I look the more I think 5/8” is probably good for most things anyway. I’m torn as there’s another small binder I like at a similar price that I’ve used many years ago and won’t be making in bulk so multiple punching isn’t so much of an issue however I like the idea of being able to pull out pegs but don’t like the price of the large Cinch for what I would use it for 😂 Thank you for such detailed and clear videos, they’re very helpful. I’d like to make the odd journal or sketch pad type of book (so not mini books) and maybe a couple of calendars 🤔🤔

Excellent. Thank you. What method do you use for cutting the notecards in half? Do you cut them individually or at one time. Was wondering if I needed to invest in a guillotine.

@craftingwithpaula Жыл бұрын

Do buy a guilhotine or paper trimmer depending on how many you plan to make. Cutting the paper is the most time consuming, so get a good one. The Martin Yale guilhotine is great, take a look of other options on my Amazon storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/craftingwithpaula/list/1ZZ2GYDZLY7YW?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfcraftingwithpaula_JDK46PKWFFK8W4M40ZFQ
