A fun addition to any crafter's toolbox, this handheld paper punch makes it easy to create perfect squares--unlike cuts often made with scissors. The unit features a sharp metal blade housed in plastic with a lever-style punch. Simply add paper and push down for effortless paper squares that can be used to make place cards or to embellish invitations, greeting cards, scrapbooks, and other paper crafts. A sliding cover at the bottom of the unit covers the cutting edge for safety. In addition, the shape comes printed on the top of the lever handle for easy identification, and each punched out piece fits within a 3-1/2-inch-diameter circle. Available in a variety shapes, the square paper punch measures approximately 5-8/9 by 3-1/5 by 8-8/9 inches.
