Are these clips strong enough to hold the glued corners of a chipboard box together? Assume cereal box, wet glue, so some slight tension.

Martha, As far as I can tell, the clips should be able to hold the cereal box together. It is firmer and not as puffy as batting.

I have not tried this but the spring on the clips are quite tight so would suggest they would work fine

Yes, ironically, on my first project I had to make a box for "mr. pancake" and the one I had was undone on one end. I just used a glue stick but it worked fine. G'luck!

I think they are. I haven't used them for that purpose, but they are tight enough to hurt if you pinch your little finger tip with them. (Other fingers were too big to test. Hope you appreciate my willingness to suffer!)

I would say no. They are small, for cabinet doors ...don't think they would be strong enough

They r strong so if u drag them they might. U could glue fabric to protect.

I'm sure they could, the only require about 1/4 inch to be fastened properly.to be honest though I am not impressed at all with these, the magnets are very weak. They do keep my cabinets closed but a small bump will release it from the magnet. If you are using them in something moving I would suggest Getting something stronger than these

Staples yes! Haven't tried paper clips. Watch the handle. It breaks easily!

I would imagine that it would hold up to the type of moisture in mixed media projects. I use to attach all sorts of things to cardstock but, given its intense holding power, I think it would hold chipboard to MDF. I have used it to hold photos to metal with good results.

I am using mine on a one inch thick white pine board. I believe this is the max you are going to get out of them. They are quite sturdy and could be used as book ends. Now saying that, I would not overload them with college textbooks, not sure if they could handle that much weight on their own.

I'm not completely sure that they would work for that. They are more designed to apply constant and secure tension to a sheet or mattress cover so that it will stay affixed to a mattress. You may be able to modify them or apply them so that they hold a comforter inside a cover, but it might require some creativity. In any case, the clips are very solid and secure, so I think with a little creativity, you could make it work.

I have only use the dots with paper. I put a dot on a empty plastic bag and placed it on a wall for a few minutes. It stayed on the wall and came loose without too much trouble, but I don't think they would be strong enough to hold heavier items.

It will depend on the weight of the box. I bought these adhesive tabs to hang fashion accessories (belts, wristbands, etc.). It can safely hold up to 6 ounces, so once the item is around that weight you should be okay.

Never thought to try that... Just checked though and they are not strong enough for that. They stick together very well in the drawer though so it's always easy to find which one you need.

Hi,No, the boots will be too heavy for these small clips. I use these to hang baby clothes after washing, which are much lighter. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. You will bend or break many tabs or sides trying to disassemble these. In fact, you'll probably bend or break a few boxes just trying to assemble them.

Yes, they will do very well holding thin fabric. They clip tighter than clothes pins. I have used them on many different kinds of fabric.

The boxes seem strong enough, but the lids do not stay on very well. If you really want them to have lids, you will probably have to tape them. Hope this helps.

There are 2 issues, thickness and weight. The clips are strong enough but the twine is not. Substitute with wire and it may work but the wood and glass must be very thin or the clips will just grab.

No I have not. Not sure it would be strong enough to hold them. I am having trouble with the wire holders staying in place to hold cookie sheets etc.
