Im working on another stupid project and was curious how do you perforate paper?

Is there a perforater you can buy?

I know print shops do it, but I am working on a much smaller scale, anyone have any ideas?

 

fold it both ways about 10 times. Oh, and adding a little moisture to the fold helps soften it up too

 

Haha. Lick it.. I know.

Im making some signs that need tear off cards on thet bottom so I was hoping for a simple way to perforate.

I know an F150 board is a strange place to ask, but no one else is using message boards this late on a Saturday night...haha.

 

Some craft stores (like Hobby Lobby or Micheal'm) sell a perforator that looks like a little pizza cutter except the round blade is serriated (sp?). My mother uses one for scrapbooking.

 

Ah ha! I knew someone would know. I was sitting here at work thinking I could cut notches in a pizza cutter and roll it where I want...

I really hate going into Michaels though... seriously... my wife sends me there sometimes and I feel lost and can't find anything, I really hate it.

THANKS!

 

With one of these:

Maybe I'm thinking of a different paper perforation?

 

its like when we send our significant other into lowes, ace, or home depot lol


not to change your subject but did anybody see the hulk hogan tv show on VH1, especially that episode where his daughter sends him in to a grocery store to pick her up some tampons

 

that's how i perforate paper but i don't think it will help him cause he needs to reuse paper

 

run it through a sewing machine without thread, that should do it.

 

I'm a day late and a dollar short...again...but Michaels does have them. I was in there three days ago...don't ask why...I was with a woman...I saw them and wanted to buy it just to try it out. Pretty neat little gizmo.



:santa:

 

Surrrrrre, your mother does and not you... We believe you

So you scrapbook too?


heh heh heh

Yea my wife wont go anymore..... I sent her to lowes not to long ago to pick up some #10, 1 1/2" stainless steel screws. She searched for 1/2 an hour, asked an associate and they couldn't find them.... WTF is that???? Anyway after all this time on the phone, I could have stoped what I was doing and went and got them myself faster..... She was getting aggrevated as was I. She asked why she couldn't find them and I made the mistake of saying she didn't have the right chomozones.
Yep she swore to never go back for me....
She came home empty handed, I went in, walked right to them and got them.

 

Yeah, my wife hates home depot. Refuses to go without me and really still hates to go with me.

 

Sewing-machine.

But don't use any thread.

So I use to work in a hardware store; fastener isle. I know my stuff.
Two weeks ago I was looking for flat head machine screws. Metric 6 for my break rotors. Lowes didn't have them. BUT, Lowes had Oval head machine screws! You mean to tell me you have something like Oval Heads but not standard flat Heads? I was very displeased.

Part 2. Last week I go to Home Depot. I need regular machine screws. 10-24 pan head. They have them; but guess what. They only have slotted drive. They have no Philips.

I've never been so terrified of big box retailers in my life. If you can't even find standard style screws; there's a big problem. I wish I lived closer to the mom-n-pop store I use to work at.[/RANT]
