How To: Using a DK-93 Snap Press for Resin Snaps

Do you have questions about how to use a DK-93 snap press? In this blog post, we'll cover how to use the dies for resin snaps.

Deciding on the dies to use:
If you wish to insert studs (male) or sockets (female), choose the appropriate upper die for the press--the lower cap die will always be the same.

The stud die will have a larger hole, and the socket die will have the smaller hole.

Inserting the dies:
Choose the correct sized die set and insert the cap die into the large hole on the bottom of the snap press:

You'll then want to take the stud or socket die you want to use and, positioning the die in the hole above the cap die, screw the shank securely into place.

You're now ready to start pressing snaps!

How to: Insert Magnetic Snaps

Hi, everyone. Sometimes we receive questions about how exactly to insert the magnetic snaps we sell, and also how to use them in general. We wanted to give you all some information about them in this post.

What are magnetic snaps?
Our magnetic snaps are a silver-tone, very low-profile closure that fastens using magnets rather than snapping a stud into a socket. You don't need a snap press or snap pliers to attach them.

How can I use them?

Magnetic snaps are often used as closures for purses or wallets. Though we sell a lot of supplies for making cloth diapers, we don't recommend using these snaps for diaper making.

How do you attach them to fabric?

We've found a couple of great tutorials on the web that will hopefully shed some light on this question.
