![Carl Neo Gauge 26-Hole or 30-Hole Punch - Blue [Office Product]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41poQvjaVwL.jpg)
I believe it is used to place the plastic loop type binding on books.

I blurred our names as I added in some punch outs of our save the dates. Awesome idea from this sub! I used this hexagon punch and this one for the smaller size. I bought an 18"x24" frame, as I had a small wedding so not toooo many cards. Some particularly beautiful ones are punched a couple of times.
Sure thing! I got 16x20 foam board and some deep blue acrylic paint for the surface. Then I cut covers of the cards off (I wanted to save the insides so we could still read the notes people wrote us). I used this hole punch and just went to work! A lot of the cards I have to cut up to be able to get to the part I wanted. Using the hole punch upside down was easier so that you could see exactly where you were cutting. Then I arranged all of them on the board with the colors and textures as evenly distributed as I could and started gluing! I just used clear gorilla glue. I should have drawn a grid to keep it perfectly even but I thought eyeballing the distance turned out fine :)
Not OP, but I've been quite impressed with these books from Arteza. They routinely go on sale (the 2-pack 5x8 go down to $14.44 USD).
ARTEZA 5.1x8.3" Watercolor Book, Pack of 2, 76 Pages per Pad, 110lb/230gsm, Cold Pressed Paper, Linen Bound with Bookmark Ribbon and Elastic Strap, for Watercolor Techniques and Mixed Media https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LDJ5XZ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6k8lDbB1YMESC
Hey if you enjoying messing around artistically and like the look and feel of oil paint, I suggest getting some decent quality oil pastels, like this! They have rich colors and are virtually mess free. Your kid will probably love them too! They blend very nicely, I'd get some mid weight pastel paper for them, like this.
Some ink splatter experiments using J. Herbin 1670 Emerald of Chivor on cheap paper because I can't afford Tomoe River right now. (Entertainingly, this paper isn't nearly as cheap now as it was when I bought it 5 years ago!)
Written using a Noodler's Niponset with the music nib.
The splatter was done using an ink syringe to spray a tiny (<1 ml) amount of ink onto the page, then blowing on it with my mouth, then dribbling a tiny bit here and there to fill in gaps before blowing again.
As an aside, I was able to control the spray/mess by cutting the bottom off a 1.5L bottle of water and setting it on the paper, then doing the spray through the mouth of the bottle. No need for aprons or cleaning off your desk!
Fun stuff. Unfortunately, the sheen of this ink is very poor on paper like this, but it still turned out reasonably well. Rhodia, Clairefontain, or Tomoe River tends to work much better for fountain pen ink than Paris Paper for Pens, but I don't have any of those without dots or grids right now.
I used this stuff.

Started creating my own Amiibo coins thanks to some inspiration gained from seeing the work of a few of you on this server. Figured I'd share what I've created thus far in case anyone is interested! Here’s a link to the PSD template. Please forgive the fact that the Super Smash Amiibos aren't all grouped together because I started just creating the BOTW-compatible Amiibos first, then decided to keep going :P
The coins are 1" in diameter. Used a 1” circle punch to cut them out and housed them inside 30mm coin capsules with the included fitted foam inserts. Going to color code the rim of the foam so that I can easily identify the Amiibo series when they're in the case.
Have some 1” plastic counters on the way to provide some rigidity to the images and "fill out" the capsule a little better. Excited to get it all finished up so they can be put to good use!
Make your own. Take a clear photo of one of the racoons and arrows, or scan it. Clean it up, lay out the pattern. Find a suitable blank card stock. Print the racoons with a inkjet printer, then print the arrows in black with a laser printer. Get some foil transfer sheets, and do your own gold foil over top of the black arrows.
Moleskins are pretty bad for gouache. Your best bets will be a watercolor paper, minimum 110lb, but you'll get better effects with 140lb paper.
If you like having notebooks instead of loose paper:
Watercolor sketchbook with 110lb cold press paper
Watercolor spiralbound sketchbook with 140lb cold press paper
Strathmore watercolor sketchbook 140 lb cold press paper
I've used mixed media paper for watercolors, but I try to avoid anything less than 100lb cold press for watercolor or gouache, cuz the paper will buckle and won't handle the paint.
Yes! I trace most of my patterns onto tracing paper, and then modify and cut out that. My pattern tissues get folded back up and put away, unharmed. I use Burda Style tissue paper which I buy locally, but a lot of people swear by Medical paper, Swedish tracing paper, or freezer paper, which you can buy at the grocery store.
I use medical paper--the kind you sit on when you go to the doctor's office 😊. It is really cheap on Amazon, you can crumple it up and then iron it out again, and it folds up just like a tissue paper pattern. I trace all my patterns so that I can keep the original with the multiple sizes (you never know!), and then occasionally will use interfacing in case it is a pattern I use a lot. In most cases, though, I just use the tracing paper. Enjoy your new pattern!
Get some wooden disc's from Amazon or a craft store.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CSV14JE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_p-XVDbR27GSP7
Also get a circle punch of the same size: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013NESBKK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vaYVDbEGWXAV3
You can either print out artwork on cardstock or even use common pokemon cards to punch out the art.
Take a tiny bit of Elmer's glue, wood glue or some sticky tack, and glue the art to the wooden discs. Boom. High-quality tokens.
This is a trick used in the Roleplaying community to make tokens for their characters and NPCs without breaking the bank. ~15 dollar investment gets you like 100 tokens.
I reccomend between 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch for the size. Depends on your purposes.
Have fun!
I'm not the best artist...and when I do artistic things, I use acrylic paints, however, in order to give you first-hand advice, I did my drawing using an ink pen. [Here is it] (http://i.imgur.com/tFoet3O.jpg).
Now that I've drawn with ink, I can for sure tell you that you're going to want a fine-tip pen. Maybe [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Sakura-Pigma-Sensei-bullet-fiber/dp/B00DUGZE7A/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1415657750&amp;sr=1-5&amp;keywords=fiber-tip+pen). It has a fiber tip which is good according to my research.
I also like to keep a Moleskine notebook handy for ideas and doodles.
Oh, and based on my little foray into pen and ink, you're going to want [bleed-proof paper] (http://www.amazon.com/Paris-Paper-For-Pens-9X12/dp/B0007PC9C0/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1415658228&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=bleedproof+paper) for sure!
Happy drawing :)

These are all good supplies and fairly inexpensive.
By newsprints are you referring to a general overall lightweight paper? I brought this a week ago: Medical Pattern Paper: 21" x 225' Single Roll of Patternmaking, Drafting, and Tracing Paper by Cardinal Health https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AH74VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Z0ZEzbWMQBTXK
Will it suffice? Why were you using printer paper?
I'm looking into stabilizers now. 505ing?
I use White Butcher Paper on a roll. When it gets dirty, I slice it off the roll, toss it into a pile to be used for packing material, and unroll a fresh surface.
Edit: Added a link
Judging by the picture, it looks like these might have the glue, but I'm not sure. The reviews look good, and it's a decent price for 1000 sheets.
Edit: oops, forgot link :)
Lol, that's awesome :)
LPT: You can get a long, long roll of brown paper off Amazon, which you can cut into 6' strips that your kitties will *love* to death, at which point you can recycle that piece and cut them a new one, https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Wrapping-Shipping-Covering-Recycled/dp/B0788YRV9V

We had a roll of paper that we got for our son's birthday one year. It was about 4' across and who knows how long. Before the meeting, I'd unroll it to cover the entire table and throw a bunch of markers, crayons and pencils and let them draw while we got set up. It was great when we did something messy too.
EDIT: here it is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IE0U/
My total is $18.27!
A cd, A sketch pad, and Sucker Punch.
I really hope I did my math right. >->
> Where do you buy it?
Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IE0U/
It's $29.33 for a 4 x 200 foot roll.
All feed back is appreciated. I forgot to mention this can be targeted by income, so I'll likely hit the neighborhoods $60k plus, in addition to near where I live.
Also, for those of you new to printing, etc. DO NOT USE A INK JET!!! That's like 0.30 per page. Instead use a laser jet, such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008ABLJHE?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02
The used one is $100 and will come with ink for like 1,000 pages or more. Once you get the refill ink, like from here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D5Z46ZW?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s03
That $100 can make about 3,500 pages or $0.03 / page. For this type of thing, regular paper is fine, but you can also use a nice card stock (about 0.60 / page vs 0.02 / page)

I wasn't able to find it anywhere in Calgary for a decent price, but was able to find it online at amazon.ca

Are you saying nothing more than luck for which slabs do or don’t get them during the encapsulation process, or nothing more than luck if someone ships a slab definitely without rings, but when it arrives it might have rings?
I’m curious about the latter option. I’ve sold a few slabs on eBay and if they have rings, I explain it in my item description. I’m wondering if eBay sellers just try to be deceptive and not mention them with pics taken at just the right angle to hide them, or if the rings can somehow form during travel.
My method for removing them: depends on what you mean by newer cases. I’ve only seen a few from 2018 or newer so far, but those seem much tighter than any I’ve seen before. My method below did not work for a 2018 slab I had that had so little give I was too nervous to proceed.
I don’t know if it has a name, but I go the knife/paper route, which I’ve seen people complain about online and how it can cause streaking. Key difference for me, though, is the quality of paper used. Regular 20 lb is far too flimsy (can tear easily) and it’s coarse. Card stock resolves the flimsiness, but too thick and increases the likeliness of streaking since its also pretty coarse. I looked at several different types of paper and finally settled on a 110 index sheet that is soft, flexible and very smooth. I’ve used it on 5 different slabs now and it’s left no streaks. Beyond smaller rings reappearing in one slab (though much less noticeable than before), I’ve had no issues.

If you try this method, make sure the knives are thin and blunt, and most importantly, test on a relatively cheap slab before diving in. It was damn nerve-wracking my first try, but the last one I did about a week ago was super smooth.
EDIT: Didn’t actually explain the method. The bottom of the slab can usually be gently pried open a mm or so with your fingers. Do this very gently and use one thin, blunt knife to keep the case “open”. Push it gently as far to one corner as possible without straining the seam of the case too much. Use another knife on the opposite corner in the same way. Don’t try to insert the knife too far into the case. You only want a few mm in, and the knife should definitely not be getting close to touching the comic. Measure the distance between the two knives and cut a strip of paper that width hotdog style. Carefully slide the paper into the gap and aim it at the rings. Take the paper out, gently remove the knives, and the rings should be gone. Note that you may have to repeat if a ring reappears. One slab I tried this on had a ring that reappeared, but a second try erased it and hasn’t come back since. Again remember: gentleness and HQ paper are the key!

Like most I order from amazon. For anything modular there is a set of 1000 2,75 inches square. 6 is good for almost anything else, but for something super complex I will make it from a roll of parchment paper or craft paper.
Decent. Advice if you want to improve the quality of your future drawings: I recommend using a set of high quality pencils such as the Tombow Mono.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00135DJQ8/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1
And pair it with good quality drawing paper such as Strathmore 400 series.
https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-400-5-Drawing-Bound-Sheets/dp/B000A7OPAO/ref=pd_aw_sim_201_1?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=1YFRBPF23CFKJX31SBFP
You'll find that you'll have greater control of gradients and control.
My DMing system:
Step 1) Download GIMP (free)
Step 2) Make a grid of 1-inch circles that you can print out with pictures in them (I can send you the file I use)
Step 3) Buy one of these 1-inch hole punches (or use scissors), super glue, and 1-inch washers (grand total of maybe 15-30 bucks?)
Step 4) Print out tokens, cut them out, and superglue them to washers. You can also add numbers, and make the tokens double sided for a "bloodied" condition for monsters. Works out to like 5 cents per token, and a bit of time.
Step 5) Buy one of these pads of grid paper. Can shop around for a good price, can draw multiple maps on one sheet if they're small, use pencil so you can get multiple uses out of it, or just play on a grid. Also lets you draw on the fly, or take a piece of paper and pre-prepare a map before the session.
&#x200B;
Total cost should be less than 50$ for months of play. You can also buy different sized washers for small, large, or huge tokens, and they make hex grid paper as well. For fancy tokens (I do it for players and recurring NPCs) you can print on high quality photo paper, or laminate the page before cutting, or just put packing tape over the token.
Mutha fuckin paperrrr
XD... Thanks for the contest!
Strathmore 400 Series does quite well with most inks, is decently priced, and is also a pretty good watercolor paper in general.
It has a bit of texture to it so it's not dead smooth but it's not rough either... it's like small shallow smooth dimples.
Edit: for a better look this guy does a great video review of this particular paper that he has used with both watercolor and fountain pens. He also has lots of other videos reviewing different papers and typically uses a fountain pen.
Thermal laminator and gold deco foil
You can either buy paper with the 26 holes or punch it yourself with a special hole puncher!

Sorry for the yucky looking link, but that's the hole punch you'd need.

Bought them from Amazon! Since Arthur's journal is an absolute behemoth, I had to attach 3 of them together. These books are great because of the 180 degree opening, especially for the double page spreads I can get right into the seam.
Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B07CM32KLM?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
I'm so sorry you've had so much bad news. My inbox is always open if you ever want to vent. And congratulations on being an Auntie! I hope the baby comes happy and healthy! <3
This watercolor pad would make a happy norris.
What type of three-ring binder are you using? Always use a larger size than you think you need, and go with the "D" ring binding style. The older style circle binding tends to jam up but the D rings are great if the binder is large enough.
If you really want to go the spiral route, it can be expensive to use a company like staples. You are better off purchasing the machine and equipment, it is pretty reasonable and pays for itself if you are making more than one.
This binding machine is under $40, can bind up to 450 sheets of paper in each book, and comes with 10 spiral bindings. If you need more, you can buy a 100 pack of spiral bindings for under $10, just make sure you buy the right "sheet capacity" size bindings. (i.e. if you need to make a 250 page book, buy bindings that have at least a 250 sheet capacity or greater).
Non-spill travel mug. I really like the OXO brand which is $19.99 (maybe less from another site). You can also get them at places like Fred Meyer. I've had two, only because I lost the first one.
Are they living on their own? How about a rice cooker? This one gets four stars, it's red, and it's $18.96.
A 3-hole punch to get organized. This one is on sale.
As paper bags are getting harder to find, I would make the brown bag out of shipping paper. I would iron the needed creases in it, cut the jagged edges. Once I get it like I wanted and soak it in epoxy to give it rigidity. I would add the eye brows by using paper clay, and soak them in epoxy once they are sanded and shaped. Eyes could be done with some large sunglasses or even plastic ornaments either painted or covered with a thin black fabric, and balsa strips used for the ear pieces. I would buy a cheap bicycle helmet and mount it to the inside of the bag for comfort and to help ensure it does not slide about.

Pretty sure it's this one. I own it, too. Says wrapping paper sheet but it works like a light, textured poster
Depends on what kind of surface you like. Bristol is smooth. Drawing paper like this, which is a thinner and lighter sheet, or like this, which is thicker and heavier, has more tooth to it.
There are these really cool pencils called watercolor pencils. You can sketch with them dry and then add water with a brush later to blend or you can dip the pencil itself in water at it draws really smooth. They're super fun and easier to use than just plain watercolors. That's always been something I give to dabblers, that a watercolor sketch book.
Hi! I'm a student at Mills College this year :) This would be great for hole-punching papers, and this for carrying my laptop to/from class.
back to cool, Thanks so much for the contest!
I found this I haven't bought it myself but i think its pretty good quality, and prettig cheap too (€10 for 1000 sheets).
Ooooohhhh you know what, I want to go with something silly, but i really need more paper. Its in my list called "art things".
Thank you so much! I had so much fun. :3
I got them from here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CM32KLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 about a month ago. I filled one in less than a month, never drew so much in my life I just couldn't stop with these things. They were everything I ever wanted out of a sketchbook and were cheap to boot, $17 dollars for two of them! I've got maybe a month before I make my way through the second one and I'd really like to know where to find more! The code on the back is 6952695000190 but this only lead me to some website that I think was in german or something and they were selling it for $60 dollars for just one.
