Rounding corners on paper is easily done using a specialized tool called a corner punch.
Using a corner punch allows you to quickly and uniformly round the edges of your paper. The process typically involves preparing the tool, inserting the paper, and activating the punch.
Steps for Rounding Paper Corners with a Punch
Based on the provided information, here's how to round corners using this specific type of punch:
- Prepare the Punch: This particular type of corner punch is designed for easy storage. It has two flaps that close. To use it, you simply open out the two flaps that were closed for storage.
- Insert Paper Corner: Take the piece of paper you want to round the corner of. Insert one corner of the paper directly into the punch opening.
- Punch the Corner: Once the paper corner is properly inserted, you would then perform the punching action (though the reference focuses on preparation and insertion, this is the next logical step with a punch). The punch mechanism cuts the corner into a rounded shape.
- Repeat for Other Corners: If you wish to round multiple corners on the same piece of paper, remove the paper, rotate it, and repeat steps 2 and 3 for each desired corner.
Tool Features Mentioned
The reference highlights a convenient design aspect of the punch:
- Storage Flaps: It includes two flaps that can be closed, presumably to make the tool more compact and protect the cutting mechanism when not in use. These flaps are opened out when you are ready to use the punch.
This method provides a consistent rounded edge, which is popular in papercraft, card making, and other creative projects to give items a finished, softer look.
