If you go with the magnetic, a good tip I found online was to do tiny button holes for the holes of the prongs, that will really make sure they do not fray. Some people just use fray check, but I had a hard time trusting the fabric would tear beyond the fray check and just tear too much. The buttonholes were easy enough to do. :)

Good luck!

I'm tempted. They do look like they would be very practical.

Thanks for the advice on the magnetic closure Rachel. I've never used one before so guess I will do a little research.
