I think that sometimes they are just not made well, I would maybe try taking it back, good luck! Jacquie, I’ve made a few of these chandeliers and I’ve gone through as many punches.

I even used the exact one as in the picture. Not long after i started, it began to not cut the whole circle and eventually died before i was even half way done. suggestions anyone?

A $9 lamp here is closer to $25. I didn't have a cutting mat either, but managed to use a flattened cheerios box for awhile. I went with a circle "cutter" (orange) as per Brenna's advice and scrollling down the comments here. Big mistake. I would have much rather got the circle PUNCH as shown in this blog above (navy blue). The (orange) cutter needs to be twirled around twice to cut a perfect circle, though you can cut a multitude of sizes. VERY time consuming and not fun. Personally I felt like I was developing arthritis on my 4th wax sheet. I also tried to iron tissue in between wax for colour but it did not stick. I was hoping this would be a nice "quick" craft fix, but it is a much bigger project than it looks.
