I use the plastic strip that comes around heavy packages. It's free!

What do you make to use the boning in?

Walker bags and thread catchers.

You could also use a metal tape measure. I have a pattern for snap purses using that stuff. Haven't don it yet, but going to someday. 8')

Is there a pattern that you really like? Do you think most any pattern could have the snap added? I haven't made a purse yet but it's on my list of things to do.
