I do know of people that have used a hole punch instead of a BIA hun.  The BIA does rectangle holes as opposed to round ones, but I guess if the round hole was big enough it would be okay?

The rings are incredibly easy to put in (speaking from experience now ‘cos I made my first BIA thing today!)

LOL

Right, The rings I used fitted easily through my standard hole punch circular holes.

One thing that would try my patience would be getting the correct spacing in between each of the holes to allow the ring to fit neatly into place.  The BIA does the spacing for you.

Other than that, I think it’s doable hunny.

Oh and closing the rings is made easy with the BIA, you’d have to be careful you didn’t squash the rings by using another method, but I’m sure it could be done somehow.

Thanks Jules,

Sounds like I will need patience.

The weeks at the caravan are just not selling this year, so i am having to put so much of my wages towards it .
Stuart said he will buy one for my Birthday so i wondered if i could use the rings up until November with the hole punch

I am not to sure now after reading your comments, maybe i better wait until i can get the complete package.

Thank you lots Jules, sarahxxx
