Snaps are one of my favorite closures. They're small yet sturdy, and the snaps don't get stuck on things like velcro. Babyville Snaps are also very easy to open and close.
With a new granddaughter, I've used them on several recent projects and thought I share just how easy they are to insert on just about anything. Don't have a little on in your life? Plastic snaps are great on so many projects, not just ones for kids!

I recently found some of these in my mom's sewing stuff and I've had a real hankering to use them! I haven't got a chance yet but I'm keeping my eyes open for my opportunity. 😄
