This video is not related to glass fusing, rather paper crafting, as the title implies. If you have a Cricut cutting machine, and love to create tags, journal pages, etc. where you find yourself tired of boring old office supply store plain white hole reinforcers, then this video (and the file linked below) is for you!
I have been wanting to make some hole reinforcers from card stock for some time. I love the inspiration I've gotten from Margreth over at Sevenplaza, and I have a link to her channel below. If you are into paper crafting, she is AMAZING! She has this lovely collection of hole reinforcers and it made me think, I should put my Cricut to work and create some. The advantage to using my Cricut Maker vs. hand cutting is no arthritis pain, and by using the alignment features I can ensure the holes are centered vs. trying to manually line everything up. Plus, I don't currently have punches in the right sizes, so why not put my Cricut to work for me?
I have saved the file in Design Space publicly, so you can access it and create your own by simply clicking on "Make It" or select "Customize" (better option) and arrange as many as you want on your canvas, resize, etc.
For this project you will need some paper (works best with card stock), a blue mat for paper (or a green one that is not super sticky), and any Cricut cutting machine where you have access to Design Space. You can find my publicly shared file here:

You could also cut these from sticker vinyl and use the Cricut Print Then Cut feature to create your own designs and choices of color, patterns, etc. and then they would have adhesive on one side. But I like two-sided card stock, as it gives me twice as many to choose from!
The paper pad I am using is this one (this is not an affiliate link, just sharing where you can find it):
