On Instructables, DIYHacksAndHowTos has a great method for separating a
cheap stapler and sticking magnets on both halves, enabling you to
center-staple booklets and the like. Every year or two, I do something
zine-like that requires this sort of thing, and I always end up wasting
money on a long-reach stapler
that’s always lost by the time the next project rolls around. (Don’t
get me wrong, long-reach staplers are awesome, but if you only need to
do booklets once every year or two, they’re a lot of investment). This
is what I’ll do next time (and as a bonus, it’ll be great for kid craft
projects where we want to use a staple in th center of a large sheet of
paper).
