Please specify a method for die-cutting thread bobbins at home?
I like the antique styles. I'd like to use my own printed cardstock. I've not been able to find any suitable dies for/from the systems at crafts stores. I have an old 13-lobed Star [brand] thread card on hand and pictures of other styles in antique needlework magazines.
I'm wondering if I asked in the wrong category. I do want a home-method, rather than industrial that costs more than a used car, or to learn that that's the only alternative.
I don't want to remove the question because others may've wondered also. Earlier this year I learned that Sizzix now (2017) has a "die" for cutting for antique/vintage style thread bobbins (the sort embroiderers use for storing partial skeins). Now I need a economical source of acid-free cardboard. Must be acid-free in core as well as main surface.

Okay, I don't have the slightest idea what a die-cutting thread bobbin or method to such would be. I know what a bobbin is on a sewing machine and I don't sew. I know what apple bobbin is, but I don't swim. I caught your question out of interest thinking I would learn something. So far I haven't learned a thing. BUT, I think out of the box and wonder if you entered thread bobbins in your search engine what would come up.
Ahhhh, some hits on that. Soooooooooooooo, these people sell these bobbin things. Why wouldn't they know something about the die-cutting thread bobbins? My humble suggestion is to try some of those bobbin folks by asking them your question. Thread and bobbin people who sell thread and bobbins MUST know something about die-cutting thread bobbin method at home or even somewhere else.
