Learn how to install plastic snap buttons with the KAM tool. I share my simple technique on how you can get it right every time, ensuring that your snap buttons are nice and secure. It can be difficult to get the stem from the little plastic cover to compress evenly down the centre, but the simple technique that I share with you in this video ensures that you get it right every time. At the end of the video I share some of the little projects that I've done to hopefully give you a few ideas and inspire you to start adding snaps and customising....well everything!

I am Screaming Thank you! I am a crocheted and for a lot of my baby clothes I hate to put button between the legs. As a mother I think it is easier to use the snaps. I purchased this device about a month ago. Didn’t have time to use it. I thought it was going to be one two three. Oh my No! I watched several videos and I was still confused. I was on my way to send it back. Totally discussed! But I watched a video that didn’t help. As I was re-boxing the device to send it back your video came on. At first I didn’t pay attention until midways through your video it was something you said that made me stop and listen. I wanted to cry! Your video was so helpful and I am so grateful. Thank you and yes I subscribed to your channel!

I used my snap tool for the first time today. I managed to figure it out, but I appreciated your tips and tricks for the next time. I DO have a problem, however. My project was a little 2-layer cotton credit card case. The snap is so tight now that it’s installed, I have to use a flat screwdriver tip to pry it open. Obviously that’s not how it’s supposed to work! Any idea what the problem is? I’m sure that if I just try to pull it apart, I’m going to rip the fabric. Thanks for whatever help you or anybody else has to offer.

@MamaBanana 6 ай бұрын

So sorry your comment got missed. As the fabric is so thin it would need something to give it more thickness. Ideally maybe try interfacing the fabric with an iron on fabric. Otherwise, remove the snap, then cut a circle of fabric bigger than the snap, then reattach the snap, sandwiching the circle in-between. Sorry again about the delayed response. Thanks for watching, happy New year 🥳

Thank you! I've been looking for such buttons and tools but the results are pretty much all on Amazon and/or made in China, the 2 things I wanted to avoid. By your accent, I'm guessing you're Irish too? If so would you happen to know of anywhere else I can buy them, particularly a good tool that isn't made in PRC? I'm not finding any in Hickey's or similar shops. (I found some buttons from Honk Kong which is fine for me and there's a Taiwan site which have the press pliers tool but it's mainly for bulk orders)

Hi? Bang on, I’m Irish ☘️ 😊 I got the hand held presses on Amazon. But I got the heavy duty table press from www.dimples-dogbandanas.com/shop/, a pet accessories shop based in Ireland. So random! I just checked though & unfortunately don’t see any hobby accessories for sale here anymore 😞

Snap makes a snapping sound when I pull them apart, but doesn't make that snapping sound when I snap them together. Is it supposed to be like that? Or, did I install the snaps incorrectly?

Are these snap buttons good satin fabric?

@MamaBanana 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, it will depend on the thickness of the satin. A good quality double layer maybe fine. But I would recommend sandwiching a small scrap piece of fabric between the two satin layers before adding the snap, just to help prevent the fabric from ripping over time. Hope this helps.
