Vario Creative Tool advice

Hi everyone! I got the Vario Creative Tool for Christmas and am honestly a little stumped as to how to use it. I punched some holes for rivets in jeans today, which was simple enough, but do I have to get more attachments to do other things? Any tips??

Bumping this up to the top and throwing it out for any advice? I haven't ever used one I'm afraid so not much help here!

Hi,

I've got one but haven't actually started using it, so can't help just yet. Once I do try it, I'll be happy to help.

Andrea from Beyond the Pink Door has done a youtube tutorial on it:

There are a few other youtube videos, if you just type 'prym vario tool' into the search bar.

Hope that helps! x

Thanks! I've watched a few videos but still unsure what I can use from what I already have and what I need to just buy.

I got these so I'll give them a go and report back!

Hi, I have one and have used it once, it's a game changer. As far as I can tell (I may be corrected) you can use any Prym attachments with this tool, the ones which come with rivets and snaps should work with it.

I am so glad I am not the only one who looked at it and froze! I did watch a couple of YouTube videos about it on the Prym website which were helpful. It would be useful if Prym had a list of accessories so you could know what is available but I couldn't find one on their site.

It's been a few months now and I think I've got the hang of it. I have a few attachments for it now and it's really easy to do snaps, eyelets, and I use it to punch holes in patterns as well sometimes.
