Snap pliers are such a handy piece of equipment, perfect for lots of little jobs around the home, even if you’re not crafty, and if you are there are even more uses for snap pliers. Once you get your first kam snap pliers, you’ll find that you’re using them on heaps of different things and you might even wonder how you manged with them before.
What are snap pliers?
Kam snap pliers are pliers that you can use to attach resin kam snaps to fabric. Easily portable, and able to firmly attach the snaps to give a professional looking finish, snap pliers are a great, low cost way to add fastenings to your projects. Kam acrylic snaps come in a huge range of colours, and although we don’t currently stock the full range available, we’re adding to them all the time. The snap pliers come with three different sizes of die for applying three different sizes of snaps for different jobs.
Uses for snap pliers
When it comes to uses for snap pliers, there are heaps of things that you can use them for, I’ve added kam snaps to a huge range of things that I’ve made, and used them to mend or alter things that I’ve already got. Here are a few things I’ve used them for, or that you could use them for:
- cloth nappies
- bib fastenings
- baby clothing
- replacing snaps on the bottom of duvet covers
- a home made wallet
- bags
- clothing
- attaching things together so they don’t get lost
- Decoration
- ‘Eyes’ on a toy
Decorative snaps
Kam snaps don’t have to just be for fastening, one of the great uses for snap pliers is to add snaps as decoration. I’ve used snaps as the pupil in the eye of a toy, or even to attach a flower to a nappy that I’ve made. We also stock shaped snaps which are decorative on their own. They can serve a dual function as they look decorative and can still work as fasteners.
