Pictures of Poor Man's Red Snappers

On another thread I mentioned I made my own Red Snappers to attach my quilts to the leaders. I was asked for pictures so here they are. The U channel (with the red tape) are from Home Depot and are 6 Ft. lengths, available where the track lighting is. The white tubes are from Lowes and the are 5 ft. pieces. They are in plumbing but are not pvc - they are more flexible than that. I just put a hem to hold the white tubes in my leader. Also showing a pic of quilt attached. BTW, I velcro my leaders to bars which makes it super fast.

Absolutely ingenious. I am going to send my DH off to Home Depot and Lowes. I bet they were a fraction of the cost of red Snappers. Thanks for sharing!
