Hollow leather punches were purchased for making tiny neoprene washers and modifying them. A 1/4" punch was selected first and a 1/4" hole was made in a neoprene washer which had already been used for material with the paper hole punch. The 1/4" disc was not a clean cut but it was slightly larger than the disc taken using the paper hole punch so it didn't fit inside the flanged spacer loosely. The process was repeated with a 7/32" leather punch which produced a disc slightly smaller than the disc made with the paper hole punch. The 7/32" and paper hole punch disc were punched in the center with a 1/8" hole punch to make them into neoprene washers. The hollowed out paper hole punch disc had a section cut away with the 1/8" hole punch to look like a partial moon with a hole in the center.
