How to Setup Your Staple Gun

I used 1/4 inch staples and a Stanley staple gun that you can find under the “Tools & Accessories” portion of my Amazon shop. To keep the staples from going through the door hanger I took a piece of cardboard from an old box I had lying around and taped it to the part of the staple gun right below where the staples come out. This keeps the staple gun from sitting completely flat against the wood which causes your staples to go through.
