FLORAL PUNCH CRAFT

Many of you will no doubt have produced roses using either the heart or balloon punches. In 1998, an Australian lady produced the first of what was to become a series of books on how to make just about any flower you can think of using paper punches. Up until recently, these had been difficult to obtain in the UK. Not any more. Be prepared to enter a world of flower making the likes of which you could only have ever dreamed about. Many of the punches used are common, but several specialist punches and tools have been produced and are listed below.

There are now a number of books on this subject together with a video. These are listed in the books section.

Important Note The final size of punch shapes varies between manufacturers. Not all corner punches are capable of having the side pieces removed. Ours are. We are endeavouring to obtain as many of the punches used, but to date one or two are eluding us. We will also give as much advice as we are able to.
