My Tangle Index

This is a request from one of my Art Club subscribers, Stacey Winters, to show my tangle index very slowly.

A quick video showing my tangle index made using 3 ring binder and coin collector sleeves (find them here) that fit perfectly 2x2 bijou tiles. The index is not just for tangle patterns, but also for other things such as the Blue Sun library, or Echolines rules. 

The index also includes Lynn Shelton Mead's excellent mini tangle cards (shown with permission).

If you are wondering how I make those 2x2 bijou tiles, I use a punch which no longer exists for sale, unfortunately, so I recommend this one instead:

Marvy Uchida Mega punch, Scalloped square
Marvy Uchida Mega punch, Scalloped square

This is an alternative to the bijou punch (which has been discontinued). This punch creates these cute scalloped squares, which measure a little less than 2" on the sides (2.5 inches diagonally. 

The squares a little smaller than the bijous as you can see in the picture, but they fit in the coin collector sleeves! 
Get the punch here.

This 2x2 punch from beckyhiggins.com is ideal to save some money and create small samples, thumbnails of tangles. They fit perfectly into 2x2 coin collector pages. I recommend using bristol paper or card stock.

UNFORTUNATELY THIS ITEM IS DISCONTINUED!!!!

If you can find it at Michaels, you're in luck. Let me know if you can find a similar 2x2 inch punch. Keep in mind that most punches are measured in DIAGONAL, which is not the right size.
