You may also find 'clothes pins' made from plastic these days, as most
clothes pegs certainly are here, and they are pretty cheap. We've been
using these to hang films and prints for many years without problems,
though I bought myself a supply of stainless steel spring clips for film
perhaps 20 years ago - I no longer remember where from.
