There are different sizes of hair clips.
Some of the hair clips are pretty much a match for those.
I just watch for them at the $ $tore and have been able to get a dozen for a $.
Besides ... some of them are much prettier than the silver of these ... so they are kind of fun when I am using them.
An vital part of my arsenal of binding supplies!
... no more pinning and they do a more even job of holding everything in place when I set to handstitch.
