Girls
I am jst looking for a long arm stapler to staple together our mass booklets..
any one got one they dont want..

[chuffed]

Hey trees - do you know anyone that works in an office that may be able to borrow one for you??

[grogmg]

If you dont find a stapler, you could punch too holes in the spine of the booklet and use a ribbon to tie it together!

[My Dream Wedding]

I hired one from my local office supplies shop when I was doing my booklets. It was only €10.00. Maybe you could check with yours?

Okay I'm reviving this thread because I'm doing our ceremony programmes and don't have a stapler that'll work. Does anyone know of anywhere in Dublin that will rent long arm staplers?

[MrsM]

i just used a puncher and ribbon as an alternative

[mrs kefjo]

I thought of that alright, but also thought it might look funny with the way I've done them... too fussy or too much going on if you know what I mean.

They look like this:

wow you have them done lovely, i think you should staple them a ribbon might take away from the lovely detail

Not sure where in Dublin you are, but if you know someone who works in a school, you could ask them - most schools would have one, and you might be able to borrow it. Alternatively, there's an office supply shop in Terenure which has a long arm stapler for sale for €18. I know you probably don't want to pay for one, but you could invest and the rent it out to any missies to are looking for one in future! (I know I'd be a future customer, anyway.)

[mrs kefjo]

That's not a bad idea, Gra... might be worth just getting one anyway... I suppose you never know when it'd come in handy.

[Mrs Toot]

Dont have a clue where you'd get one Kefjo but had to tell you your programmes are gorgeous!! Where did you get the covers?

[mrs kefjo]

I made 'em myself, Toot. Got the cream cardstock in Reads... the other paper and the butterfly stickers from Michael's (in Vancouver while we were home)... hired a paper cutter from Daintree (€6 per week with a €150 deposit that is given back when you return it)... bought a TON of Pritt stick... and spent my afternoons folding, cutting, glueing and sticking!

Just working on the Irish ones now... will post photos when they're done too! Thinking I should go into the ceremony programme making business!

[Mrs Toot]

They are amazing! So professional, if you love doing it then you could start it as a business!
