If you want to add an original touch to your projects or make a personalised gift, this punch might be just what you're looking for. We're talking about our new Puzzle Punch.
Of course, it's turquoise, so it matches perfectly with the rest of our punching machines. With it, you'll be able to make puzzle pieces out of your favourite photos or cards, making the pieces fit together perfectly. Without a doubt, the possibilities offered by this punch are endless. This punch could not be better, it is a simple lever punch, which also includes a locking system so that it takes up less space when stored, and with which you will be able to make lots and lots of projects. You can cut more than just photo paper, as you can also work with cardboard between 120 and 450 grams, acetate, or 0.6 mm plastic. Let's see how to use it!
How to use the Puzzle Punch
This tool makes 2.5 centimetre puzzle pieces, so to create a design where all the pieces fit together perfectly and have the same size, they must be multiples of 2.5 centimetres. For example 5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, 12, cm, and so on. This size is great for working with the standard size of photographs, which is 10 x 15 centimetres.
To make these perforations, start with one of the corners, whichever one you want. It is important that you work with the punch facing you, as you'll have to check if the paper is correctly placed.
Make sure that the paper is always touching the edges. This way, you will make sure that all the pieces are the same size and therefore fit together.
Once you have the first perforation, slide the photo down, and again, make sure the edges of the paper touch the sides. Make all the perforations needed following the row.
And that's how easy it is to make a puzzle with our Puzzle Punch. In a matter of minutes, you'll have a puzzle to make different projects with.
Without a doubt, it is a very versatile punch, you can add a touch to your project by adding one or two pieces, make a whole picture with puzzle pieces (and you can add some foam squares to give volume to some parts), you can play with different colours and textures… you just have to use a little bit of imagination and this punch will easily become a basic in your collection, you won't be able to stop using it.
