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.

I can’t say enough about any KAMsnaps product, and these are no different. They are sturdy, easy to use, and beautiful on my projects! Great quality as well!

Great and speedy!

I had a class for the Plover Pouch and to use the KamSnaps Professional Press before purchasing it; so I ordered the snaps. The product arrived quickly and as expected and they worked perfectly on the product! Can’t see the snaps on the photos, but they provided the perfect finishing touch!
