Attention teachers!

What do you call those thingummies that fasten two pieces of paper so that the top one can sort of pivot around the fastener? They look sort of like a nail, but they have two thin metal “tails” that you stick through the layers of paper and then bend back. (I’m trying to make decoder wheels for my Linux students.)

Thanks!
