The dollar store velcro is very low quality and only sown together with a few strings and keeps ripping

Isn’t the whole point of Velcro that you can rip it in half?

I’d probably try a craft store for something like that

Or a hardware store.

Try buying actual Velcro not dollar store garbage.

My dollar store Velcro is only worth a dollar, halp!

Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, Target, Harbor Freight are your online/big box/retail chain options. Otherwise, check our your local hardware store or craft store, as others have mentioned.

Military uniforms use tons of Velcro, see if somewhere near you sells that. (Idk what Canada’s version of an army PX is)

In this case they sell the hook side and the loop sides separate, make sure you buy at least one set of each if you go with this random website I usually use

I just put superglue in my velcro, problem solved 💡

Hobby/craft or fabric stores usually have more heavy duty velcro. Also maybe a home hardware/home depot style store.

Guys this thing I bought at the dollar store sucks! What do I do?

Maybe buy the real thing from a real store lol
