I bought these products for an unusual purpose. I use them to close the footstool lid and the hinged lid of the chest I have. I have a 2 year old grandson who lives with me and he is everywhere. He was so upset when he couldn't open the stuff and threw the contents everywhere! And I could breathe a sigh of relief. One less thing to put away, but more importantly, one less thing to scold him for. Belts are great for my purposes.
