Snaps?

I was in Michael's yesterday and noticed snaps in the same area where they
sell eyelets. Has anyone used them? I couldn't tell whether or not they
were in two pieces, however, it didn't look like the normal snaps that I'm
used to. There were no directions on the package. Thought that I would see
if anyone out there has used them before I make a purchase that will just
sit in my craft room. They were fascinating, though.
TIA,
Cheryl

Snaps are eyelets with a solid top rather than a hole in them. You set them
just as you would an eyelet.

I had the same questions a while back and finally got the nerve to ask a
clerk in a scrapbook store.

Thanks, have you used them? Were they more/less difficult to use than the
eyelets?

I have used them and they really are the same as using an eyelet. Makes a
cool look to a scrapbook page or card. I'd say go ahead and give them a
try!

I have some that look like the tops of screws .... not sure yet what I'll do
with them but they'd make a neat masculine card or page someday. :-)

Cheryl,

I've used them some. They're no more difficult to use than eyelets;
however, you do need to be careful about how hard you "tap" to set them, and
what surface you lay your work on to back the "tapping". The top will dent
if you're not careful.

I'm not sure, but I think you should be able to use the appropriate-sized
"rivet" setter on the HomePro LR if you happen to have that. It'd be worth
the cost of one "snap" to give it a try. I'd tell you my own findings, but
my own smallest rivet setter is too big for the snaps I have.

HTH,
Alison

Looks like I'll be stopping to pick some up soon. Thanks.
