Choosing the Right Metal Snaps

Which metal snaps you use depend mostly on your personal preference and on which size best complements your project. For that reason, we are unable to provide specific size recommendations beyond the information below.

KAMsnaps Open-Ring Metal Snaps for Children Baby Toddler Clothes Onesies


Open-ring grip snaps are commonly used on baby/children's clothing and other basic crafting projects with thinner types of material (which should be reinforced with twill or grosgrain ribbon to avoid possible tearing). Because the "teeth" are short and each one needs to be able to self-pierce through the fabric, these are not suited for tough, thick or dense material. Size 14 (9mm - 3/8") has shorter teeth than size 16 (10mm - 7/16").


    KAM Fashion Spring Decorative Metal Snaps for Bracelets Wallets


      Fashion spring snaps for a more visually appealing decorative touch. Size 14 (9mm - 3/8") for light-weight applications, size 20 (12mm - 1/2") for general use, and size 24 (15mm - 5/8") for thicker material. Similar to utility spring snaps below -- visual appeal is the main difference.

       

       

      KAMsnaps Utility Spring Heavy Duty Snaps for Leather

        Utility spring snaps (also called line snaps) on projects that call for a more heavy-duty snap.  This style is less bulky than the fashion spring style.  Size 20 (12mm - 1/2") is more suited for general use while size 24 (15mm - 5/8") is recommended for heavy-duty applications.

          Fashion snaps have a gentler grip and more decorative appearance compared to utility snaps.

            Kam Fashion Metal Snaps

            Love these snaps. With the help of excellent tutorial videos, the table press makes installing snaps a snap! Along with rivets, the snaps add a new dimension to tote bags and my Crossbody Bag pattern (photo) and are cool embellishments. And the hole punch makes perfect placement easy without stressing the fabric. Thanks Kam Snaps and Judy for fast service and shipping! (Crossbody Bag pattern is available @gailpatrice.com)
