    In this tutorial, I'll show you how to saddle stitch bind using staples, with a focus on just the binding method itself. This can be useful if you ever need to mock up a pamphlet without sending it to a printer. This can also help you make your own comic book.
    Materials:
    • Paper (cover and pages)
    • Staples (3)
    Tools:
    • Pencil, ruler and cutting mat
    • Stapler
    • Binder clips
    • Awl (see substitutes - bit.ly/Ylyz16)
    • Bone folder (see substitutes - bit.ly/15EP8dB)
    • Utility blade (or x-acto)
    • Book press or weights (optional)

    Okay heres the trick i use.... Using any king of eraser place it on the bottom of the booklet (where the staple will go ) then open wide the stapler and punch it where you need, the stapler will pierce through the paper and eraser then do the same steps of folding the ends of the staple....voilaa

    Another method that I used to use is: slip a piece of eraser under the spot where you want the staple to go. With the jaw of the stapler open, 'staple' onto the page and the eraser as if you were stapling something onto a notice board. Flip it over, pull out the eraser, and then push down the legs of the staple (with your hands or with a ruler). Done :D

  • @cyee7
    @cyee7 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Instead of pushing staples out of a stapler and unfolding them, I prefer pulling them out of a column/stick of staples. The 'joints' on a staple is weak, and if you fold and unfold it too much, it might break. Or alternatively, like ItalianMisfit has mentioned, just open the stapler and press out the amount of staples you need. That way the staples won't have to be folded and unfolded repeatedly.

    • @ngarber
      @ngarber 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The staple that comes out folded from the stapler has a bit of a radius in the bend which may hold the paper better. That's probably why Sea Lemon does it that way.

    a much easier way to do this project is to produce a paper roll out of an old newspaper. just roll one sheet of it very hard and strong from one corner to the opposite corner, fix it with a little bit of clue at the leftover corner - ready. take this paper roll underneath the broshure and use the bureau tacker (stapler) to tacker the needles directly into the paper. then take away the paper roll from the broshure and crump the tacker (stapler-) needles to fix them. you'll need the half of the time ...

  • @Tarzanjunglekungfu
    @Tarzanjunglekungfu 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just my 2 cents to prevent the possible finger nail puncturing and weakening of the staples due to repeated bending...instead of pressing all the way down on the stapler to eject the bent staple, open the stapler so that the bottom folds out behind it. Then just squeeze the stapler and they'll eject like bullets but unbent. If your stapler can't open like that put something inside where you put the paper, like a pen or pencil, to keep it from closing all the way and press.

  • @newtrudythings
    @newtrudythings 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think it must be possible to use a tacker, put the signature on some kind of soft board and bend the staples on the other side.

  • @m0nkeybizness
    @m0nkeybizness 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I do the same thing too... except instead of doing this on a table, I just do it on a carpet because it's a flat surface but unlike a table, it allows the staples to puncture through without damaging anything.
