A few years ago I splurged and bought this Crop-A-Dile. I wasn't sure how much I would use it, but it was a suggested supply for a class, and I had a coupon, soooo...I went for it. Yeah. That was one of the best purchases I've made.
Seriously, I love it so much! I've used it on felt, cardboard, wood, and today, leather. It punches holes so easily! I highly recommend that you consider this tool. Really.
After the comments were mainly in favor of the leather key chain from yesterday, that's what I went with. And you were all right. Mine is different from the one that I had found, but the supplies I had on hand worked for this:
Nice, right? I think the birthday boy will like it. But I couldn't stop, so I also made one of the wooden disc key chains too...this one is for me:
I'm pretty sure that I want to make a hundred of these. They are quick and so much fun! Maybe every single key that I have needs its own key ring...
Oh, and want to see something else really cute that I made? It's tiny and sweet!
I like the smiles on the flowers. :)

Man I want a crop-a-dile now!! I could have so much fun with one.
ReplyDeleteAnd those key chains are really nice.
Now that's a hole punch with attitude! Did you use it to punch the hole in the wooden disc as well?
ReplyDeleteThe leather keychain is good - I reckon he'll actually use it (you know what men are like).
Yes, right through the wood! I've found that if I'm too close to the edge, or in a weird spot of the grain that it will break, but I'd say that 90% of the time, they are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI love mine as well! But I have a very ugly Pepto Bismo pink one, yours is quite nice. I have never tried leather or wood, you learn something every day, thanks Miss Mollie!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know what a crop-o-dile was until today! Where have I been?? I need one.
ReplyDeleteThe key chains turned out great!
Be oh-so-jealous I just found one at a garage sale about 3 weeks ago!
ReplyDeleteJealousy has commenced. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteIs that a key chain? I love the design with flowers :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. And thank you!
