    Just something I considered as I went through various fasteners .. and the reason I went with the plastic/vinyl coated paper clips is the remote possibility of rust.

    Yes, our home is air-conditioned....
    but we also live is S.E. Texas.
    In this part of the world you feel the need to breathe through gills a lot of the time! The heat & humidity is just unbearable especially this summer.

    I feel that the other metal options were too much of a risk in the long run.
    The solid plastic clips, at least the ones I tried broke when I tried to fasten the fabric on the small boards.
    The large coated paper clips have done what I wanted for very little cost.

    We use the snap-type binding clips on all our bolts, mainly because they're secure, easy to use one-handed and they seem to last about forever. Haven't seen one rust yet, but we're in a very dry climate.

    I use the boards from Fabric Organizer then clip one end with barrettes from Hobby lobby when I can get them for 40% off. Works great Fabric Organizer.com.

    Question, sometime ago I saw a discussion about how to fold fabric on to boards, but they clipped them with some type of metal clips ---- Does anyone know what the clips are called & where you can get them?

    HELP!!!!
    I got all my paper clips from the Newsagents. I picked the larger plastic covered ones so they never rusted. I also have some of the butterfly clips but I thought that they may rust over time.
