twist ties

Bread bag fasteners

Twist ties are short lengths of wire encased in paper or plastic, used to close bags by twisting around the gathered opening.

They secure bread bags, garbage bags, and bundled cables.

The wire holds its shape when twisted, making them reusable: She saved the twist ties from bread bags to organize cords.
