My demo just introduced this punch to me at my last party. She should have pointed me to it early! I seriously don't know how I lived without it. Actually - I do - I always had crooked bows! I highly recommend it. The whole size should be listed there - I think it is probably 1/8"??
I am totally confused, how does a punch help with ribbons?
You use this punch and then you thread the ribbon through the holes to tie a bow, it is the only way I can do bows b/c I am ribbon chanllenged...it is a great little punch
as for the sucker sticks it would be good for that also but there is just a little area in the you can punch so it would have to be a fairly thin width piece of paper I think

In the SU Catalog it says:
"The Double Circle punch on page 236 provides holes for perfect placement. Simply punch, thread the ribbon through the holes and tie a bow"

Oh, you mean on the page with the ribbons. P236. I have never read that at the bottom of the page. Good tips.
That sounds like a great punch to get. I'll have to treat myself to that. I have a lot of problems with a bow, too.

Oh, I'm sorry, I gave the wrong page number :oops:
A little tip that came from Atlata Regionals, the perforated part of the order form is perfect for aligning eyelets also!! THanks for the tip, I know what else I'll add to my order.

I love this as well. I use it for all ribbon and cording. I prepare a lot of gift bags (using the brown or white lunch bags) for my kids' programs at school and this works great. It goes through the mulitple layers of the bags well. Absolutely my most used punch.
I've looked at this punch and decided it wouldn't offer the versatility that I need for bow placement....this tool would be wonderful if it was offered as a "long-reach" style. The way it is you are limited on how far into the CS you can reach to place the holes.
Maybe one of you demos would make this suggestion to SU?

I have also seen some "faux buttons" made with the double punch & our circle punch, then threaded with ribbon as a button would be, but on a card...cute

Do you mean threading the grosgrain through the holes made by the punch? If so then yes i have only used the grosgrain, it is much easier if the end is cut at an angle but it works great, again the only way i can tie a bow!!
I also wish this was offered in a long reach style!!

Like mentioned above, I don't know how I ever did it w/o the punch. I have felt so much better about eyelet placement and ribbons being straight. Would recommend to ANYONE
