had it happen to them. You go to fasten your favorite shirt, purse or wallet,
and find that the snap has ... snapped. It's not necessary to throw away the
item. Replacing a snap is a snap! In fact, it is such a common issue that most
tailors keep a snap repair kit in their sewing kit. Snaps can be attached to all
sorts of material, although larger snaps, such as on a wallet, tend to be
adhered to canvas, leather or denim, depending on the item.Does this Spark an
