snaps!

[coralredgate]

hello, i live in the UK and am looking to buy some more snaps, only problem is that i cant seem to find anywhere within the UK to buy them, the only place i found some was in a local fabric shop but you get about 20 in a packet and they are £2.99 per pack and works out quite expensive, help would be greatly appreciated

Do you want Metal or Plastic snaps?

If you do the Polyresin/Plastic snaps, you will need either a pair of KAM snap pliers or a snap press.

For Metal snaps, you will need a hammer and a snap setter, or there are metal snap pliers.

Let me know and I'll help direct you! Also, Etsy has lots of snaps if you check under the "supplies" section.

ummmm either really, i dont have a lot of money so the initial payment would have to be pretty reasonable, i only get £197 per month as am epileptic and havent managed to find a job to take me yet.

It's a big initial investment for either way. The metal snaps are expensive on their own. The plastic snaps are inexpensive for the most part, but you'd have to invest in a snap press, or snap pliers, and then the snaps.

i'm not sure which would be best, i would love to start selling pads soon as i have a pattern that just needs a few more adjustments but is my own, i make them from upcycled materials and would love to start earning a little money doing something i love which is making pads, so which are best for selling, plastic or metal and where would i get them from?

thanks
