A system for holding a fragile item includes a support panel which is dimensionally suitable for receiving the fragile item and has at least one opening passing therethrough. The system also includes at least one fastening device for selectively securing the fragile item to the support panel. The fastening device includes a fastener member, a fastener securing member and an item-attachment member. The fastener member has first and second end portions whereby the first end portion is formed to pass through the at least one opening in the support panel. The fastener securing member is formed to engage the first end portion of the fastener member so that the fastener member is retained in the support panel after being passed through the at least one opening of the support panel. The item-attachment member is fixed to the fragile item and has an opening formed therein permitting the second end portion of the fastener member to pass therethrough when aligned therewith and prevents the second end portion from passing therethrough when not aligned therewith. The fragile item is selectively secured to the support panel by aligning the second end portion of the fastener member with the opening in the item-attachment member so that the second end portion passes through the opening and, upon rotating the second end portion, the second end portion is not aligned with the opening thereby retaining the second end portion in the item-attachment member so that the fragile item may be shipped or stored on the support panel.
