Default Which Mini Stapler Works Well?



Hello-

Well, after reading the 'What Was a Waste of Money' thread (really, I have not laughed so hard in a long time!), I thought I would check in to see if any of you had an opinion, before I make a purchase.

I am looking to get a mini stapler. I know of many girls who have had problems with theirs not working well. Just wanted to see what brand may work better for others. I know they are not expensive, but I am really trying to cut out the frustration factor!

Thank you in advance, for any input.

Have a great day-

BlueInks

I have the Making Memories Mini stapler and it works great. I like that it takes regular staples. Did you know you can color the staples any color with alcohol inks or Copic markers?

The new Tiny Attacher from Tim Holtz is awesome! It is even smaller than a mini-stapler but more sturdy. It feels comfy in your hands and the mini staple will hold. It will punch through layers 'cause that is the way Tim designed it. You can always use either your copic markers or alcohol ink to color your staple. It's the perfect size for adhering ribbon and/or flowers, even chipboard pieces.

Thanks, ladies! I did not even think of coloring the staples! I thought there were limited colors. Where have I been?!

I just use a regular stapler. Sharpies color them great though if you watch the clearance areas you can find colors there super cheap.
