If you did your own programs, how did you bind them?

If you did your own programs, how did you bind them?

I'm doing my programs, and have the final draft done -- when I go to staple them in the middle, the stapler doesn't reach. I have them on 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded in half and I have a regular stapler.

Am I making sense here? How is this done? Do I need a special stapler?

I have tassels to put on the binding but they won't stay together well without being stapled I think.

Thanks for any advice.

I punched two holes and tied them with ribbon.

I plan on doing the same. I copied the idea from a friend of mine.

FYI - they see heart shaped hole punchers in AC Moore. I'll probably use that and tie ribbon into the heart holes.

If ribbon along the edge doesn't work (although it should - since that is how Laura from LA Productions put together the programs for WOTY), I will punch holes to string the ribbon through and then tie it.
