hi there crafters... im new to crafting and need a bit of help... i need to know what tool i should use to make a hole punch in ribbon (organza ribbon to be specific)... i have tried normal paper hole punches but no luck... i need to make holes to pass eyelets and brads through... can someone help please...

I agree with Kim a cropodile is the way to go....its a worthwhile investment because you can use it it on so many different things and not just paper or card.
Check out some of the online stores because they have just brought out a different coloured version which usually means the pink one will be a little cheaper...I got mine on offer last year for £17 with a set of eyelets . There are bargains to be had you just need to shoparound

thanx everyone... but i have heard a cropodile mangles the organxa ribbon... i will invest in one anyway but any other ideas would be appreciated... thanx again

to put brads through paper or card i use a sewing needle to make the hole to put the brad through, only if the brad wont go through because of card thickness i do tend to use a thicker needle the bigger the brad

I put paper either side of ribbon when I use it with my cropodile so it does not tear. love Michaela xxx

thanx everyone for ur help... i have invested in a cropadile and it shud be arriving in the post soon... sooo excited!!!!

ooops didt read it correctly, didnt see the ribbon bit, no wonder i was confused by the replies, doh now i understand tut

thanx everyone for the help... the trick with paper on each side of the ribbon helped alot... i have my cropadile and luv it... its an amazing invention...
