Project Ideas
Business
Pre-cut roofing starter strips and ridge caps
Bulk-cut 3-tab shingles into starter strips and ridge caps and sell bundles to small roofing crews and DIYers. Hook blades make fast, accurate pull-cuts on abrasive shingles, increasing throughput and consistency.
Custom van and garage door insulation kits
Offer made-to-measure rigid foam board inserts for vans, shed doors, and garage panels. Use hook blades for clean edges and tight fits, and package with tape/fasteners for a ready-to-install kit.
Tyvek wallets, tool pouches, and reusable mailers
Launch a microbrand producing tear-resistant wallets, organizer pouches, and reusable shipping sleeves from housewrap/Tyvek. The blades enable efficient batch cutting of curves, slots, and fold lines for small-scale manufacturing.
Contractor logo stencils for housewrap
Design and cut durable branding stencils from Tyvek so builders can spray their logo onto installed wrap. Sell custom sizes and multi-layer designs; the hook blades give clean bridges and repeatable detail.
Custom foam packaging inserts
Provide made-to-fit foam board inserts for local makers, breweries, and Etsy shops. Use the hook blades to produce precise cavities and tabs, offering short lead times and low minimums compared to die-cut services.
Creative
Tyvek field notebooks and wallets
Cut housewrap/Tyvek into covers, pages, and pockets to make ultra-light, tear-resistant notebooks and slim wallets. The hook blades pull cleanly through slick Tyvek without snagging, letting you round corners and notch folds precisely.
Foam-board architectural models
Build terrain, roof pitches, and massing models from foam board. Use the hook blades to make long, controlled pull-cuts, bevel edges for tight seams, and score-and-snap straight lines for crisp, professional-looking models.
Shingle mosaic planters and garden edging
Upcycle scrap shingles by cutting them into uniform tiles or scallops to face planter boxes or create decorative edging. The hook profile excels at slicing abrasive shingles and curved shapes without excessive wear.
Insulation wall art panels
Carve geometric reliefs from rigid foam insulation, then seal and paint for lightweight, dimensional wall art. The hook blade’s controlled pull lets you cut channels and layered patterns with minimal crumbling.
Reusable outdoor stencils
Make durable stencils from housewrap/Tyvek for signage, event wayfinding, or mural work. Clean pull-cuts prevent frayed bridges and allow intricate lettering that holds up to weather and repeated use.
