What the buggery are these things called?

OK, so I have lost a lot of sleep trying to work out what these things are called. I need them to secure my DS's Geography project.

They are pieces of string, often coloured, with metal bits at each end. If you make holes in a cardboard folder, you can thread them through the holes and they will secure all the pages.

I just can't remember their name and want to order some online. Anyone???

treasury tags

Great ! Thanks Goblinchild! And I've just checked and there are some on ebay.

Thanks again!

Treasury Tags, that brings back memories, last time I used them I was threading together my GCSE geography coursework!

Do you know of a modern alternative? We are homeschooling so I am not familiar with new fangled classroom items!

I have treasury tags but prefer those sparkly bendy craft wire things to secure pages to together!

as one might guess from your username, LOL!

Yes! Hehehe. I do tend to go for all things shiney bright and sparkley.

Treasury tags are still used in school, BornAgain. Just plastic instead of metal!! We use them to fasten coursework together, still. My DCs love using them to fasten work together.

And they make good cufflinks too.
