On the first attempt to use them to temporarily hold thin fabrics together without stress, the orange flat parts fell off and 2 of the first 3 broke. Be very careful, break less, but they just need more quality. Having done this outdoors as I use a variety of garden sizes to secure row cover fabric and horticultural insect netting without organics or chemicals I hate dropping broken plastic pieces. in my grass and garden soil where they are hard to find. The size is comfortable so please update your design.
