Great tutorial. I was looking at a great sale on the mini cinch and wondered what size wires - you explained that perfectly. I also saw the reviews that customers said they cut not cinch the wires round and you covered that also.

Thanks! I’m preparing one comparing the regular size to the mini. I’ve had a few people ask me because they don’t know which one would be the best choice. Hope you get one and have fun with it. 🌹

This may be my favorite tutorial to date. ❤. Beautifully done Paula. So many great hints/tips. I have had a regular Cinch in my craft room for many years. I bought it at a thrift store several years back for next to nothing. This video gives me the inspiration to pull it out and try yo use it. I hope you do the comparison video between the regular and mini someday.

Just came across this. Have been wondering the mini Cinch. I have the full size one, and really like it, but wondered about the mini for smaller projects. Now you said you can only use 5/8" wires on this. Have you tried smaller wires, like 1/2"? Just wondered. Thank you for sharing.

Great video with hints and tips. It’s a shame you can’t use smaller diameter wires though 🙁

@craftingwithpaula

@craftingwithpaula

You can actually use smaller or bigger diameters. What you can’t use is one that has a different distance between the wires. That’s why it uses a 2:1. This means two holes in 1 inch.

@traceybartlam7737

@@craftingwithpaulaso smaller than 5/8”? That’s great thanks. The more I look the more I think 5/8” is probably good for most things anyway. I’m torn as there’s another small binder I like at a similar price that I’ve used many years ago and won’t be making in bulk so multiple punching isn’t so much of an issue however I like the idea of being able to pull out pegs but don’t like the price of the large Cinch for what I would use it for 😂 Thank you for such detailed and clear videos, they’re very helpful. I’d like to make the odd journal or sketch pad type of book (so not mini books) and maybe a couple of calendars 🤔🤔

There isn’t really a limit, but you would have to punch over and over again. It punches six holes at a time. If you want to make large notebooks, I would suggest you buy the regular size cinch.

Do buy a guilhotine or paper trimmer depending on how many you plan to make. Cutting the paper is the most time consuming, so get a good one.

By centering the paper. Just mark the center and place it in the center underneath the Cinch, it has a mark at the bottom.

I have had mine for about a year and a half and have still not used it. I am very nervous that I will mess it up.
