Howdy

I've a casual job at a local child care centre, helping out with looking after a bunch of rascals and finding out ways to reward them has always been a fun and challenging endeavour.

Have an idea to make a bunch of stamps, with fun pictures on them with dollar values, and once they collect up a particular amount they can redeem for whatever little treats etc.

The designs are on track, but I'd like to make it realistic and have the iconic tiny holes on the edges, have been looking but have no idea how to get those, I thought I'd could print out a sheet and get a pizza cutter thingy with heaps of little hole punches, but that doesn't seem to exist. Any bright ideas?

Cheers

    That makes a perforation only, not the little holes like stamps have.

      The "little holes like stamps have" are perforations. Just bigger ones. Have you never seen a sheet of stamps before?

      Find one with holes of the size you're looking for. Cheap ones are like a dollar from China.

  "tiny holes on the edges" are perforations, maybe you need a larger perforator

  Pinking shears. Will be zigzag, not round, but close enough.

  Wavy edge scissors like these https://www.amazon.com/Whitelotous-Scissor-Handcraft-Project… (note I haven't googled for cheapest price)
