I bought a bit of material and things so mum and i could try making some NB nappies.
I figured i could use my mums snap press but it doesnt seem to want to work?? it is actually for metal snaps rather than plastic...does that make a difference??? or am i using it wrong?? So far iv only seen 1 type of plastic snapp press and im really not willing to pay that kind of money when im not going to be using it very often if at all after we made the NB nappies. Are there any cheaper versions out there?? |

| you can use a snap service where someone esle will snap them for you. or sell it later to get some money back. or think of the other things you can use it with... bibs, clothes, i have capes for the kids that have snaps to do them up... |

Theres a snap service on greenbeans but not sure if anyone is in your area.
A metal press can't do plastic snaps as they don't make dies for them. Could you use metal snaps on your naps? Or hook and loop?? -------------
