Suspenders- recycling

 Brillant, simply brilliant - I am off in search of suspenders....Love the recycle aspect of this idea...Great idea!  Thank you for sharing.

Great idea! I had had the same worry about finding those clips. Will definitely give it a try.

Brilliant idea!!  But you can sign me as, "Giggling in England", because in UK-English, 'suspenders' are what ladies use to hold up their stockings, not what men use to hold up their trousers!  The fact that you say these used to belong to your sons is extra-funny.  :)

Guessing the "garter belts" that ladies wore prior to pantyhose, with those little "rubbery-hooky" things in metal "eyes" could work in a similar manner.  Funny how it all comes full-circle some times!

Ooops. :O)

Thanks for this information. I will tell Google translator!

...but I think, in American English, that Google Translator has it exactly right!  In America, men *do* use suspenders to hold up their trousers.  :D

One of the many and silly ways the language is different across the Atlantic.  :)

  Oh, now I feel reassured.

 But it was funny and I was sitting here giggling too.

 But as you mentioned, I remembered  the other meaning. In school I´ve learned both. British English and later American English.  This is sometimes a little confusing.
