If we couldn't use zip ties for anything, I think I would seriously cry!
So yes, you can use zip-ties as they count for fasteners.
Radiant Phoenix - I love the hair! Very cute
I've used zip ties to pull my hair back into a ponytail while working last minute on our robot (or when a hairtie breaks!!) ... You have to be really careful cutting them out of your hair if they're really high up, heehee!
(and last but not least)
Ken - the guys at Home Depot know "zip ties" as "tie straps" so there's another name for you!
Have fun,
Katie
