2 in 1 Paper Trimmer Review by Kate Kessler

Are you looking for a paper trimmer for crafting, scrapbooking, artwork, trimming photos, or any other cutting needs? The folks at Purple Cows, Inc. sent in this 21� long by 14� wide paper trimmer for review and I have not stopped using it since. The features include:

  • A 12" guillotine cutter with a safety blade and cutting guide that cuts up to 10 sheets.
  • A 12" rotary trimmer that cuts up to 10 sheets .
  • An alignment grid and paper guide (very helpful for precise cutting!)
  • Carry handle and blade lock for safe storage around children and easy transport.

I have been using this over and over for various projects (I mean a LOT of cutting!) for many months and the blades have not dulled at all. I am impressed that something that is plastic and might appear to be less sturdy than say, an all-metal or wooden trimmer/cutter, is really not at all. It is very sturdy and quite a help to me! For only $44.95 at the time of this writing, it is a very affordable addition to any homeschool craft station!
