Using Punches

Fold and Punch

Accordion-folded paper helped Susan Weinroth achieve a paper-doll-chain effect.

Tips
Think thin. Susan found that three folds (four layers) was the maximum her punch could cut. Keep the thickness of the paper in mind to avoid damaging your tool.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Once you start you can’t stop, or at least that’s what Susan found when she was inspired to punch both circles and hearts.
