Wow, great idea. I'll stop there tomorrow.

I'm with Kitsie. I find the hair clips work just fine.

Got my hair clips at Feilds. They had square shaped ones and the hold binding very well. Also check the drug store. I have seen them there and this is smaller than small town here.

Would you believe they don't sell those silver hair clips here? Same for
buttons. Can't find a darn button in town. I have a fairly big collection of
buttons but you know Murphy's Law...never in the right size or colour. LOL

I still love the little cheapies you can get at the beauty supply to put hair bows on. And most of the time I don't even use them because I press the binding over and it doesn't need much holding. froggyintexas

I have hundreds of those smaller clips, plus a bunch of bigger ones too. I bought them at one of our flea markets. all for a $1.00 for a pack of 12 or 24. I love them and use them a lot.

I use the silver hair clips also. Very inexpensive and they work great.

haver never seen these--I think they would be useful. I am also a 'Notion Junkie', but I prefer the metal ones that are similar to the bendable barrettes in the 60's.
