I couldn't let all of you have all the fun.........I bought a kam snap kit and as soon as I learn how to use it I will update this post with pics of them with the snaps....I used Ultra Solvy as stabilizer and used my 5x5 hoop and as you can see I did 2 at a time......These will be up on my website tonight......they are called Key Fob Road Trip and Key Fob Floral...BTW, I forgot to mention I used the peel & stick foam....



Am adding a couple more pics....I have 2 more to make for today.....I used a light fill on the elephant and bug as I didn't want too many needle points in the foam....
Last update.......thanks to Bev sending me a youtube vid of the snap kam, I did it myself without Jim..woo hoo! Anyway the foam accepted the snap perfectly and the last pic here is of the snaps in place.....

these must be contagious as all seem to be stitching. Funny thing is, I have one of these contraptions somewhere in my sewing room and can not find it. I looked for days and finally gave up. I refuse to buy another one knowing I have one. I will find it when I no longer need to use it. Kay

I know what you mean, Kay.......I had one of the metal type that did metal snaps and grommets and that thing was torturous to use..........so glad the gals here clued me in on these plastic jobbies..

It's addictive!!! Be sure to let us know how the snaps work on the foam. Some of the vinyl that I have used is thicker than the marine vinyl so for those I ordered some long prong Kam snaps because the regular ones were not secure and pulled out.
