Ellison in the Library

Otterbein is now offering free use of Ellison machines in the basement of the library. These machines are considered die-cutting machines which act as cookie cutters on a variety of materials. Ellison machines are commonly used to create borders and decorate bulletin boards for displays. Some of the material that Ellison machines can cut through include sheet magnet, foil, fabric, felt, sponge, leather and thin metal. Although Otterbein allows the use of these machines for free, materials are not provided. Paper and other materials can be purchased at Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and speciality materials can be bought on www.ellison.com. The library welcomes all faculty, students and staff to take advantage of these machines.
