Pronged males hold a wealth of potential for your projects, but are little understood, so let me help demystify them.
What is a Pronged Male?
A pronged male has a male (stud) on one side, and a prong on the other end.
When would I use Pronged Males?
Adding a pronged male to a regular snap set creates a double-sided or stackable snap.
As shown above, you can pair a pronged male with an extra female to create a center snap piece that goes in between the 2 sides of a standard snap set. See how it works.
Examples of projects using Double Pronged Studs:
Attach Wipe Bag to Wet Bag Handle: A double-sided snap on the pink wipe bag allows the bag to be attached to the handle of the larger wet bag. One less thing in your hand when you're rushing baby to the bathroom for a diaper change.
Interactive Clock: A double-sided snap was used for the bottom hand of the clock. The bottom hand is able to fasten to both the clock as well as the top hand.
Fabric Sampler Book: Layers of fabric are attached to each other with double-sided snaps to create a sampler book.
Quiet/Busy Book: The pages of this quiet book were connected using pronged studs. Each page can be unsnapped and therefore removed. Or additional pages can be added in any sequence, and the pages can be rearranged.
The Convertabunz pattern from Bunzuke Cloth uses pronged studs (double-sided snaps). For those not familiar, a Convertabunz was designed by Sara Scholl and is a single piece that converts to all these things. Talk about versatility!
