In this case I was referring to Beads like Beadelles; We ended up drilling through them, but I wonder why ALL of the colors don't come with ANY size hole bc it wasn't rocket science drilling through them. @Cindy Lietz:

Most paper hole punches are pretty blunt and large and will be difficult to use with clay that has any thickness to it. I demonstrate how to use a paper / leather punch in the beginners course video referenced above in this post. Hi Sarah,

Is this true? And if so do you have any tips on how to do it? I read on line that you can use paper punches to cut sheets of baked clay. Is this true? And if so do you have any tips on how to do it?

Fortunately I have no worries at all in that department, my special bead drill bits are very well endowed. Now I would like to endow you with a meme (I'm so clever). I always new that size matters!
