Hi

Apologies first of all - I have not done much crafting before so this may be a bit obvious to you folks! I am getting married and really want to make some table confetti myself out of second hand books and was wondering the best way to go about this? A friend suggested a sizzix die cutter but from what I can see this means you have to buy a machine and a die shape? This would probably be a bit much considering I only want one shape (probably hearts) and would not use it much after the wedding. Are there other types of die cutters more suitable?

Thanks!

what about a heart-shaped hole punch? You should be able to pick one up from either Craftastic in Hillsborough, or Hobbycraft

Thanks! I was pretty sure I had seen similar things, but just couldn't really think of the term - mental block! I got caught up in the die cutting stuff. Have had a look on the internet and there seems to be plenty of options so will make a start!
