SNAP TO IT!
Snaps are a great fastening to when you want a neat finish. Claire-Louise Hardie explains how and when to use them
Sometimes we want a nice clean finish that doesn’t involve making buttonholes, and that’s where the humble snap or press fasteners comes into its own. These types of fastenings are comprised of either two metal parts for the sewn-on variety, or four metal/plastic parts for the riveted or “non-sew” variety. The non-sew metal fasteners have a characteristic “click” or snap, hence the term snap fasteners!
