Staples

[agardener]

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to buy some very small staples. I don't mean staples that go in an office stapler or staple gun, I mean the old fashioned sort you hit with a hammer, hoping to miss your fingers, ha ha! I've tried the usual suspects under DIY or craft supplies, I'm probably asking the wrong question.

Thanks both togo and alavahalf, they're definitely the right sort of thing but I need smaller, that's the real problem.

How the hell do you hammer them in - I wouldn't have a finga left.

The easiest way to hold very small staples, push the staple through a piece of stiff paper, then using the paper as a handle line up staple and tap it till it is well started, pull paper free and tap staple fully home.
