    To get staples further into the center of a piece of paper, open the stapler. Most staplers can be opened by pulling the part with the staples in it, and the part you push on, separate from the base of the stapler. Just need to make sure you have something hard underneath your paper. And make sure it’s something that you don’t mind having scratches in. Not sure if that all makes sense. Hope so. Thanks for your video! I always love your work, and listening to your voice. 😆

Everyone who is interested in your work should have a copy. Please remind your viewers that the book is in the stores. It is quite worth the price. Again fabulous work! Carol from California

  • @cltsev
    @cltsev Před 3 měsíci +7

    Absolutely awesome. I would take the piece and lay in on whatever I use to poke holes through my work. Open the stapler flat. Staple wherever you are going to place your beaded staple on the piece. Pull the staple, add the beads, place it back through the holes you "punched" in the piece. I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much Natasha!

    This is reminiscent of the SHIBORI process, by which dyed silk is stitched down in random places with thread, often attaching beads to adorn the design. It's the same concept, but you have made a fantastic paper-fabric variation. Check it out though, I think you will be inspired! Thanks for sharing this idea ❤ 🇬🇧

    I started to write down my favorites from this video as I went through it and ended up listing the whole thing. All ideas are favorites… That kind of anomaly only happens on this channel… Would you be able to come up with design ideas using staples and bits of that ubiquitous foil packaging (pets dry food, coffee beans etc.) that is fun but impossible to glue? If you’d be born in France you could become a famous designer/ couturier of wrap dresses on dressmaker's mannequin… Or something like that 😊. As usually this video widened the horizon tremendously. I’ll definitely explore Pinterest and other corners of internet with search term "staple art".

  • @annieg5100
    @annieg5100 Před 3 měsíci +1

    To get the staples apart you could leave them in the stapler and squeeze the stapler and a single full staple should come out. Another way to color staples is putting them in a ziplock bag and placing drops of alcohol ink in the bags closing it and shake it around until you get the color you want. It works very well with paper clips. Thank you for these ideas on staples.❤
