1. A method of making a fastener, the fastener including a base having a pair of opposed base members and a pair of elongate portions joined to one another, the pair of elongate portions connected between the pair of base members to a center of the base and separated from the pair of base members between the center of the base and opposed edges of the base members, the base composed of a top sheet of material and a bottom sheet of material, with the bottom sheet including an adhesive layer, the fastener further including an elongated pliable core member coupled to the center of the base in alignment with the pair of elongate portions, the core member having opposed first and a second ends extending beyond opposed edges of the base members, the method comprising:
a) providing a roll of top sheet material; b) providing a roll of bottom sheet material aligned a spaced distance from the roll of top sheet material; c) providing a spool of wire aligned to extend between the rolls of top and bottom sheet material; d) unrolling the two rolls of sheet material, simultaneously, together with unspooling the wire; e) laminating the top and bottom sheet material to each other and encasing the wire between the top and bottom sheet material, wherein a twist-tie is defined; f) applying an adhesive layer to the bottom sheet material; g) die-cutting the laminated sheet material and wire into predetermined fastener shapes; and h) separating the fastener shapes into individual fasteners. |
