Just a small gift for my DH for his talent in making my Kam snap pliers into a press. These are cord wraps. I put snaps on all 9 of them in a "snap"!! Thanks for taking a peek! Hugs, Laura*

Well done, Laura!
Hugs, Lidia

Could you post the name of the site where you got the design? I know I've seen it recently, but I don't remember where it was. Thanks. How long are the little designs?

Thank you - thank you!!!!

Have you used the old fashioned metal snaps much? If so, what do you think of the Kam Snaps in comparison? I had a whole box of the old metal ones, but have just about used them up. I've been looking at the Kam Snaps, but there is a fair investment there. I make adult bibs, shirts, etc., and wonder if they are going to hold up or not.
I LOVE what you have done with your new press! Congratulations, and thank you for posting a picture of that. What a great guy-gift!! This site, and the members, are so incredibly inspiring!! Especially when people come up with ingenious problem solvers like you have! Hats off to both you and your husband!!

I always fumbled about with metal snaps - more often than not - I didn't get the prongs in correctly. I even tried the snap source gadget - same problem. I had a chance to try out someone elses Kam snaps and I was sold right away. I bought my set off of Amazon and it came with a bunch of snaps. (I always use the longer snaps and have not had any problems with them coming off). While the press isn't hard to use - this is way much easier. Thank you for your kind words!! Hugs, Laura*

That's quilt a good looking press that your husband made. I can see where having it would make things a lot easier for you. Nice cord wraps!

Great idea, there is another type of cord wrap at embroidery garden and it's free.

Yes!! I have that one too! These I already had 9 in a hoop in a file and got them stitchout, trimmed and snapped very quickly. I plan to make the Embroidery Garden ones too for our IPhone cables at some point - thanks bunches!!

Thanks for the link. Joyce

Very nice - professional!

Can anyone give me a comparison between Kam snaps and Babyville snaps?

I haven't used Babyville snaps so I can't help you there. I do know that Kam comes in short and long prongs. I use the longer ones for my ITH projects. Good luck!

I purposely tried to find something useful to make for him that would allow me to use my KamSnaps. And, yes, Kim, one of these days you are going to have try those snaps. My first try was putting snaps on a Duvet cover that didn't have them. I was hooked!! Thanks bunches!

Great cord wraps!
