The provided reference demonstrates using KAM plastic snaps on a bandana bib. The process involves attaching two snap pieces to one side of the bib and the other two matching pieces to the other side. Here's a breakdown based on the reference:
-
Identify Snap Components: You'll use two types of snap pieces: the "innie" (socket/female) and the "outie" (stud/male). You will also have the snap caps.
-
Prepare the Fabric: Determine where you want to place the snaps on the bib.
-
Attach First Snap Set:
- Push a snap cap through the fabric from the right side (the side you want facing out).
- Attach the "innie" (socket) part of the snap to the post of the cap on the wrong side of the fabric.
- Use snap pliers to securely crimp the snap pieces together.
-
Attach Second Snap Set:
- Push a snap cap through the fabric from the right side of the bib.
- Attach the "outie" (stud) part of the snap to the post of the cap on the wrong side of the fabric.
- Use snap pliers to securely crimp the snap pieces together.
-
Repeat: Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other side of the bib, ensuring correct snap placement for closure.
Important Considerations:
- Snap Pliers: You'll need snap pliers designed for plastic snaps. These pliers apply the correct pressure to secure the snaps without damaging them or the fabric.
- Fabric Thickness: If your fabric is thick, you may need to use longer snap posts to ensure a secure connection.
- Snap Placement: Accurate snap placement is crucial for proper bib closure. Measure and mark snap positions carefully before attaching.
