Snap closures
Uses and features of these accessories for the bag world
There are many ways to call these particular closures. Some call them snap, others write clik clak or clip clap, but in the end they are the classic snap closures for wallets. It is also true that in recent years the evolution of handmade and in particular crochet have seen many proposals for these fun objects.
How to choose the right snap closure for my project?
Firstly, it is necessary to start from a creation idea that can be a purse, a wallet, a glasses case, a clutch or a real bag. From here the need to choose the size of this accessory from the smallest, around 4 centimeters, to the largest, up to 30 centimeters in width.
Then you can choose the design that is most suitable for our creation.
What are the types and characteristics of snap closures?
Starting for convenience and clarity from the smallest, we can find:
- Snap keychain: fun snaps with a chain appendix and the traditional key ring. A very nice gift idea to have not only a cute keychain but also a small purse that can be useful, for example, to store coins and shopping cart passes.
- Snap wallet: These are the classic 8.5 centimeter snaps. Made of metal, they have a decoration at the top that can be a colorful plastic ball or a particular metal shape such as bows, little fish or kittens. They are also widely used to make party favors. There are also snaps of this size made entirely of plastic for a more modern and casual look.
- Snap for clutch: and here the list becomes really long both in terms of size and design. In this category fall snaps from 12 to 25 centimeters. We can find them in metal, but also in resin and even snaps with bamboo handles that have been popular in recent years.
- Snap for bag: in this category fall all snaps with a size larger than 25 centimeters and for which you could also use an eco leather bottom to make it even more complete. Also here the designs are multiple and it is up to your taste to choose.
Which cord to use for snaps?
Tessiland offers the widest range of cords for bags and therefore also for the creation of snap closures and clutches. Surely the most used cord is the Thai Sublime cord, both in solid color and in the faded version, thanks to its wide range of colors and guaranteed continuity. For a chic touch, you can also choose the Thai Sublime Lux, a cord with a very delicate lamé insert.
What are the alternatives to cord and yarn?
Of course, depending on the pattern we want to create, there are cords that meet every need: for example, if we were to create a peanut-patterned clutch, we would need a thinner cord that would enhance the 3D effect of the peanut. In this case, we could opt for a Thai Slim or a Thai Skinny which are thinner than Sublime, or shiny yarns that are perfect for this purpose such as Rowen or more "rustic" ones like Juta. These are not all the possible alternatives because very often you can see many creations with snap closures especially for occasions such as baptism, communion, confirmation, wedding that are also made with a very shiny cotton like Iggy or with the classic Scottish thread Amanda.
