Thanks for the tutorial! Who knew that snaps were such complex systems...four parts?!? Until a recent snap failure shattered my innocent belief in a good and stable world, I never had the occasion to plunge into the art of snappery. I now feel empowered to restore my coat and fashion integrity.
*Snappery*
Indeed!
I was always intimidated by snap installation, thanks for making this so easy and quick - wow!
Don't use a metal hammer - use a heavy nylon hammer. It does not damage the other tools when you hit them and it gives off less noise.
Thanks for the tip, I will try this (note to self: buy nylon hammer).
Bought a lil kit recently to repair a really nice winter coat I was gifted but a few of the snaps got ripped off when I had to crawl through the window of my apartment after locking myself out. $15 investment saving a $300 coat, and your vid assured me it’s easy as pie. Thanks, I’m interested in learning some of this diy stuff to perhaps learn to tailor my own clothes and make repairs. Subbed 🤘
Amazing! How did it go? Did you fix the snaps? Thanks for the new sub ☺
It is advisable to place a scrap leather piece (2-4mm thick) underneath the fabric so that you do not blunt the hole puncher and keep it sharp every time.
That's a great tip! Thank you for sharing ♥️
You are very welcome! 🙏
Thank you! I thought I knew what I was doing, but I feel much better watching it.
Thank you so much for watching!
I bought a kit a couple of years ago. Never made one snap successfully! You have redeemed my confidence with this clear and simple tutorial. 🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful!! So happy to redeem your confidence - thanks for watching 🥰🌞
@LTRLTrendFashnGuru Cool chain around your neck did you make it yourself?
Ouh you actually put the cat part in the video. Appreciate it coz I really want to see the cat when you said you woke it up (eventhough if that was from other cat video clip ). 😍
Thanks for the instructions! Can you tell me where you purchased your snaps? Reviews on Amazon are so up and down on all of them, I can't figure out which set will actually work. Also, do you know if this kind of snap would be okay on regular fabric (cotton) instead of something bulkier like the denim? THANK YOU!!!
supppperrr helpful tysm!! i also think it would be helpful to show close ups of what they look like after you smashed them
I would have bought you a coffee if you had provided links to all items in video. The coffee would have been well worth the time I now have to take to source the items myself.
You are so right! Sorry to have missed this information -- I did a later video about Eyelets and Grommets that included my supplier (because this one is older video I did not include it= Anyways, I have updated the info in the description of the video and linked it in the comments above .... and here : Where I buy my equipment (NOT sponsored and not affiliated - I just love them, they are a small family business in Toronto, Canada - ships worldwide) -- sewingsupplydepot.com/
I love your personality 😂💗
Heehee...thanks!!
And that is exactly what I was looking for - many thanks
What was the wood for?
hell o great video cna you tell me how to measure for replacing snaps on denim
Awesome. And you hammer like a pro!
Wow thank you for explaining so so simple. The instructions are hela complicated. Msh subscribing! Yay I can finish my project. Thank you?
You are most welcome! Nice to know I had a hand in helping you finish your project! Yay!!
I love your shirt! ❤
Thank you!
Any tips, I just did mine but the snaps are really loose and come apart from each other easily
Arrgh, this is so frustrating when this happens. Try hammering down a bit harder (even though it seems like you are going to break them... try again). Also, make sure you tools are set correctly. Thanks for watching... and Best of luck🥰
Omg, thank you! I'm building some belt accessories for a renaissance faire and the snaps have been the absolute worst part!
Once you have done one successfully... you will fall in love with them! Snaps are now my most favourite part - they are so satisfying to install since they are much faster than buttons and those darn button-holes. haha
Thank you
That looks painless.
I bought three different snap kits and the instructions looked more complicated than this video.
So I now need to find those snaps I bought and the hole puncher to complete a project waiting on my ironing board. No more procrastinating.
I know, those instructions are like reading lawyer jargon... haha. Yay for finishing projects, glad I was able to help! Thanks for watching 😊
hello great video as always 👍🧵please kindly explain and film how to use monofilament thread in the sewing machine please ok?please kindly reply back ok?thank you
The request has been put into the mix of the schedule Frank! Thanks for your sugesstions we are on it 😉
My snaps don’t exactly look like yours. What am I doing wrong? Lol
Haha. You are probably doing nothing wrong dear Kirsten. There are different types of snaps out there, if you bought a kit they usually come with a special tool? Maybe you can send me a photo so I can better understand what your snaps looks like and hopefully I can help you get these snaps installed! Do you have instagram or telegram? OR you can send me an email at ltrltrend@protonmail.com
having trouble opening your attachments. 😅
@@LTRLtrend 🙈 oh noes! I just tried again with smaller files. Thx again!
@@kerikah Fantastic!
Sorry i dont have these weapons to fight of this situation
No fighting here 🤷🏼♀️
F*ck this! I've waisted 3 sets so far because they keep bending. I'm installing a zipper. You made it look so easy. But omfg it is not!
Overly dramatic…attempting to be funny, but actually not funny…
I hate those hole punchers they are hard, and they don't always punch I found a better tool that works every time and no force needed, the japanese screw punch, fast and easy you don't need to be superwoman to punch a hole
Wow! I need one, can you share the link?
@@LTRLtrend I got mine from Amazon type in Japanese hole punch
Good video: Next time you can show a close up as to what you are banging in -- the cap and receiver, etc. This would be useful.
Haha.. hard to get the camera on there when I am banging. But yes, I understand - more close-ups of the pieces. Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for your video. I found it by looking for videos on snaps. I would like to do plastic and metal snaps on different fabric. I know the plastic Kam snaps have a pliar kit. Do you know of any kits or items to order that would work on metal and plastic or will I need 2 separate type of kits?
Good question! From my experience, the plastic vs. metal snaps use different tools. Suggest buying separate kits.
I really enjoyed your humorous approach to snap installation. I already knew how to do it but your video was really enjoyable. Thanks for the chuckles! 😊
Thank you so much! This makes my day that I was able to entertain and educate. Appreciate you being here♥
You’ve convinced me to buy a mallet. I live in an apartment and the amount of hammering I’d need to do is too much 😂
Omg. This just made me a subscriber. The humor alone takes away the intimidation. Thanks.
Hi @ltrltrendfashnguru Wondering if you can help me understand what I am doing wrong. I have wasted 3 sets of snaps because I am bending the male piece (3rd to install) and then the top snap doesn't fit it. I have a picture, but it doesn't look like I can attach it.
Can we see a closeup of the snap after hitting it with the hammer? Mine look terrible! Also, my button is getting damaged by the hammering. Am I using the right device on the snap when hammering? My round metal circle has a front and a back. Which should I use? I'm ending up with a damaged snap and a ruined project.
I got a Ben Davis snap front jacket and I've always wanted to replace those funny looking buttons with the monkey face to the shiny gold or silver style buttons to make it look more elegant and less of that gang related style. That's why I removed the monkey brand off. Plus I'll have it custom made.
Nice! Hard to imagine the before and after wothout somw pics - tag me on insta @ltrltrend when you finish? Thanks for watching!
Thank u ❤
NEED CLOSE UPS..LOOKS LIKE YOUR 20 FEET AWAY
What is a good brand to buy for these..dont want cheapo snaps
Terrible couldn’t see very well
Hi, you forgot to put the peace of wood under your work area !
How fun. Tho I looking for pearl snap installing. This will work for my motorcycle jacket that needs replacing. Nippies wheeeee
Oh yah, pearl snaps are different... did you buy a kit? usually the kits come with a tool (it's a small piece of plastic that looks like a stapler...hahah), which makes it simple to install.
Mine worked but its for an elderly man and im having an issue getting it apart… dang they are strong. Any way to loosen snap strength?
I'm not sure loosening the strength on these are an option. 😅Maybe a sew-on snap would have been a better for the elderly man as the strength is not super strong like the industrial snaps.
Hi fashion Guru, where did you purchase your jean shirt? It’s very nice
Thank you! It is a vintage Calvin Klein shirt, bought it second hand many years ago. If you live in Europe you can find many of my unique selection of thrifted clothes on Vinted (like Deepop but better) you can find me at @ltrltrend.
Love your necklace
Noice🤝🏼
This chick is awesome :)
thank you
Super fast way?
Dancy Nancy 👍
What a fun woman!
tq for the tutorial.. i have snap set same type with the one in this video.. but there's some moves didn't clarify clearly in this video.. so im wasting 2 set of snapping button.. i figure out themselves.. luckily i finished assemble them. thanks!
Pig rings are not attractive. Just saying.
.🧐
Hello, do you think snap buttons like these would work to secure a jacket liner to the inside of a jacket
I put one on and and does not snap together. If i do get it together it just falls apart. Can you help me?
Thank you! Simple and to the point. Saved me lots of hassel!
Loved your video. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you.
Came for the snap info stayed for the dope necklace.
Your shirt is cute.
You're cute for watching🥰
Thank you for the help! Love your necklace 🖤😘
You are absolutely amazing!
3 minutes anyday would make me happy.
Thank you very much 🎉🎉🎉
"and you go for it" LOL. Accurate!
When I try to install these four part snaps I run into the problem of the “tube part” of the components rolling when the setting cone presses into them. I’m not sure why this is happening or how to avoid it. Any tips?
This has happened to me as well. There are a few possibilities/ troubleshooting:
1. Try to not hammer the post down too far.
2. Are you using the correct tool size? Did the tools (anvil and setter) come in a "kit" or did you buy the tools separately? If you bought the tools separately, they maybe the wrong size for the post.
3. The snaps may be of cheap quality....🧐
Best of luck
Thank you sooooo much!!!!
Thank you for getting right to the point! It's so much faster than sewing buttons and button holes!!
I don't ever remember making button holes in Fashion school, snaps were always my go-to solution.
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for making this. I’ve watched so many tutorials and none of them properly walk me through it until yours.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching☺️
I gave you a thumbs up in the first 60seconds , just bc of your contagious smile❤
Awww, thank you... that is very sweet.
Hey. Thanks so much. I have tried and tried to get this small thing to work. I can figure out just about anything, but for some reason, just couldn’t get it to work…lol.
Could I help in any way? What is it (specifically) you are having difficulty with ?
@@LTRLtrend …I finally got it, thanks to your video. It helped immensely. Thanks
Is there an alternative to using the splicing tool?
I have tried with other "tools" like big nails, rocks and other hand tools *but* they never came out nicely like the slicing tool. Everything else just smashes the post either not enough or too much that the snap doesn't work properly or the snap comes off after a few tries. Highly recommend the appropriate tool. Best of luck!
Brilliant!
Thank you
