I do mine thicker like leather, I say like leather it's thinner than leather but thicker than paper. I give a lot of them to friends and they use them as some sort of display around the house. Some end up on hats and others just as decorations. Don't do much of it any more, cause as I've gotten older and not as quick or nimble as I once was. I no longer catch them at all, just pin them and cut them.
