Double Capped Snaps?

[pearlheartgtr]

I was thinking about making a wine tote for my aunt, but it calls for 3 snaps at the top of the handle. All well and good, but the backside of the snap is ugly and really makes the tote look cheap. Are there snaps that have caps on both sides?

I had thought about just leaving it be, without a fastener at the top, or sewing a flap of leather with a snap to wrap around the handle. I just wanted to check my options before I proceed.

I'm not sure about your application, but you could use another dome (rather than a post) with the stud part of the snap?  Then it would be pretty on both sides.

This is what I'm making.

The top of the handle is supposed to snap closed.

Use domes (caps) on both sides. With line 20 and 24 snaps, the stud part will work with either the usual post or a dome.

OK. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

If you haven't worked with YKK directly I would reach out to them. They make an SX series snap that you don't have to pre punch holes. It's amazing. And both sides look great. 

Give it a google!

Do those work in leather? Up to what thickness? 

[imstephenjones]

I've used them in 8-10oz. I've never tested it's limit, since that's the thickest I use.

Thats cool, just wondered if they would atleast handle leather applications.

For sure. Shoot an email to Ed Kelly. He's the man when it comes to explaining their product. They are also insanely easy to work with. They have never mistreated me. I think it would be impossible for them to. 

I DM'd his email to you.
