Constructing a Punch Board
Determine the size of the board by the number of holes that are needed for the project. Using the circle template, trace around the template for positioning the holes.
Cut the holes out of the punch board with caution and precision. Carefully cut the holes using the saw. If the edges of the holes are rough or have jagged edges, smoothing those edges with sandpaper is recommended to avoid cuts and splinters.
Sketch a design with a pencil on the punch board prior to painting to help eliminate mistakes. Once the sketch is completed, carefully paint the board and allow time for drying.
Turn the board over. If a design is to be used on the paper, draw or create the design prior to attaching the paper to the board. Make sure the designs can be seen through the holes. Place the paper over each hole, cutting the excess paper but leaving enough around the edges to attach to the board.
Place the prizes into the bags. Carefully situate the bag opening over the paper, covering the holes. Position the bag to be sure the hole and the bag are aligned to allow the edge of the bag to be a little past the edge of the circle. Staple both the paper and the bag to the board at the same time.
Turn the board over and have some fun.
