lwika16 Report post Posted March 23, 2021 I have a question on snaps. I'm wanting to use a snap for a closure on the top of a simple leather tote bag I make, one like the picture I've attached (not by pic, photo creds to KMM and Co). For the bottom base, since the back of the base post will be seen, can I instead of using a base post, use the cap post with the base socket? So basically I'd be using two caps, but one with the regular socket, and the other with the base socket. I tried it on some scrap leather and it does work, but I'm just not sure about longevity...any thoughts? P.S. Or does anyone know of a supplier that makes such a snap? As I haven't found one that does. Thanks, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ButtonLady Report post Posted March 23, 2021 I use eyelets and caps interchangeably without a problem. The only potential issue is post length: "Standard" Cap Post Length = 3/16" "Standard" Eyelet Post Length = 1/4" Caps with longer posts are available. Never hurts to ask for samples to see which works best! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lwika16 Report post Posted March 24, 2021 Great, thank you guys! I was thinking it'd probably be fine, but knowing that you guys have done it and can speak to the longevity of it, makes me feel a lot better. Thank you and God Bless as well! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
