I use these clasps - again, here are a couple of cheap types from ebay. I elected to pop-rivet these without spacers, and they squashed the twinflute material - ah, well...

Note the white spacers cut from plastic sheet. These bring the bottom half of the clasp out a little, to match the top connector.
Ideally, you want clasps where the top and bottom become a single unit, like these. The result is much stiffer than the clasps which simply pull the two parts close together.

Total cost? About £2.50 for the material, £1.50 for the handle, and £2 for the clasps. £6 in total...
