Do you remember when you were in grade school and you realized you forgot to staple your homework together and so you made a small tear at the top of the page and folded one edge forward and the other back?

Well, this clever little doo-hickey uses that same principle to fasten up to 5 sheets of paper together, albeit in a much more grownup way. No more staples jamming in the stapler, no more searching for paperclips. Convenient, and good for the environment, too!

As a science teacher and office supply addict, I'm always looking for the next cool thing. A staple-less stapler. How cool is that?

i'm an early childhood teacher and i love that these staplers don't include staples! it scares me to death any time one of my kids gets near the stapler... but now i don't have to worry about them hurting someone. plus i save money because i don't have to buy staples again =)

Another stapleless stapler - this one can staple up to five sheets. I love this concept. Save the earth!

These are another version that look really cool. I'm not convinced you can buy them anywhere though... and I've seen the other ones I recommended :)

Go green w/this stapleless stapler. (via thisnext.com)

This is so cool. Why didn't anyone think of this sooner? I'm so getting one of these for my classroom in the fall.

Green office supplies... what's not to love?
