Get some diaper pins, those things don't come undone unless it is deliberate. I've been using one of those bad boys for a good decade now with no stabbys.
I do this on my bike, attaching keys to my biking shoes like this isn't an option as they don't have laces...

5 inch was as big as I could find... not sure the length of the one in the photo but it seems like it could be close.. https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Giant-Stainless-Steel-Safety/dp/B00CBVPFQA/

Safety pins to hold the throw i usually have around me, around me while i work. Lol all my typing and moving usually makes it slide off my shoulders, safety pins would fix that XD
I've said this a few times when these threads crop up. I'm building a beginner model ship by Constructo, called the Albatross. It's a good starter kit, and has pretty decent instructions in various languages and with pictures. Always read a couple of steps ahead and do some research before you take the plunge as the instructions aren't 100% and some terms don't go between languages well.
I have quite a collection of hobby type tools about after many years as a kid in the hobby, but the kit comes with a decent knife, blades, sanding block, tweezers and pliers. Constructo also do other, smaller, cheaper kits too, but I thought if I'm making a ship, I want a half decent square rigger, since I work on a real one so it's a bit closer to my heart.
Since you're a newbie, let me elaborate on what might make your life a little easier when making the kit.
A few things I would suggest additionally you may need, would be definitely some dress making pins, maybe a vice that's bolted to your desk, just so it's easier to hold, and some decent wood glue. I also use the odd mini cramp. A small razor saw is a good plan too, as it makes chopping wood a little easier than just using the supplied craft knife, especially when the planking is on the model and you can't press down with a knife. I wouldn't bother with using the metal tacks in the kit, use the dress making pins instead, the tacks are shite and leave big holes, they also bend horribly. When you need to bend any wood, soaking it is a good idea, makes it a lot more malleable, there is a lot of resource online to help you with these techniques.

For the money, I think it's a good one to have a crack at as a starter. I'm after building HMS Surprise, but she's a bit big and advanced for a newbie to contemplate, so when this one is done, perhaps Surprise shall be next, much to my Mrs's consternation.
Here's my last picture, I've gotten a bit further but life seems to be getting in the way at the moment.
I use size 1 (just over an inch in length). I use safety pin grips ( https://www.amazon.com/Paula-Jean-Creations-108PJC-Quilters/dp/B0018N7BN2 ) to add some visibility, so I like the shorter length to keep down the extra bulk.
What I really need right now is a new mouse, because this one keeps dying on me and I'm resorting to use the trackpad, but its a little over $10.
These pins will also do nicely for my sewing and altering though!
