I already replaced the snaps on my winter coat with larger snaps because the brass snaps were constantly popping open. The new ones are great. It took a little less than an hour to do the replacement of six snap buttons. Thank you for your guidance.
Omg! Thank you so much for this tutorial it saved my most favorite outfit ever I was gonna throw it away until I was advised to watch your video, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart you have brought so much joy to so many people and their clothing
Thanks so much for your video, especially for the WAWAK source. I mend kids coats for charity and the big box sewing stores just don’t have the variety of parts I need to match the existing garment. Now I have a chance to make them look like new. 😀👍
Thank-you so much for your helpful videos! My grandmother was a master seamstress in Boston. She could sew (with or without patterns), take off, put on and/or replace anything when it came to sewing. I am not that way. Just starting out and so far, trying to not sew my fingers together. This video gave me enough courage to replace the broken snaps on my cape! Again, Thank-you! Two thumbs up, fav'd and subscribed.
Thanks! I'm teaching myself to hand sew and embroider like found on 1800's dresses and coats. So far, my fingers are still intact. You're right. My grandma was bad ass, but she didn't know it. She could just look at a coat in the windows of say, Filene’s, Newmark's or Jordan Marsh. Study it carefully. Go home and copy the coat exactly without a pattern. Holy Mother Of Puppies! WAWAK ROCKS! I set up an account there and plan to buy a lot!. I've built enough courage to buy the snaps and the tools needed for my cape. When my mom passed, I got my cape I had lent her back. For some Brain-Fart reason, the nursing home laundry people had removed all the snaps and replaced them with Velcro. Needless to say I was mad as hell! :)
You are amazing thank you thank you I have watched over 30 videos before finding you I am so grateful I finally can use my 100 snaps all thanks to you the company i bought these from gold star was no help at all you are wonderful
Thank you for a very clear and informational video! I'm about to replace a few missing snaps on my daughter's jacket, and now I know exactly what to do. Subscribing!
Thanks for this. I bought a brand new fleece shirt. And one of the snaps malfunctioned first day. Didn't want to deal with the return process. So I followed your instruction. Works great!
After a long day working at the drycleaners, I asked for help at Hobby Lobby to try and fix a snap for a customer. Sadly, I was to tired to think straight and the employee didn't know how to help me. So, thanks for this video! I sadly cannot find those tools in my area, so I am probably going to have to find someone else to fix the snap for the customer so they aren't waiting on me to get a delivery.
@@TailorItYourself Thanks for your concern! Things are so far so good. The customer is very understanding and I found a business in town that is willing to help me order the right parts.
Excellent tutorial a double thumbs up. Now to order my tools and snaps. I've usually thrown my coats away once several snaps have come away. How easy was that fix Thank You. Regards Steve, From the UK
thank you for informing me early in i can't re=use parts. i'm not a sewing dude and i am used to being able to refurbish and re use parts. i may have wasted like a half hour trying to fix a jacket but this video saved me from even more wasted time!
The best hammer for striking a punch is a Ball peen hammer. They come in different oz so the weight will give you more downward force for different levels of jobs. 16 oz should be enough for snaps but 24 oz might do it in one strike. I hope this helps and thank you for the video. 🙏
Thanks for the video. I just bought a knife and the sheath's snap feels weak, but I don't want to send it back, and wait for the new knife, and possibly just end up with the same weak snap. Rather see how to replace it myself, and now check Amazon for a starter kit. Thanks again Danni
Great video! I have a question though. I have many baseball satin jackets. The snaps already lost they’re color and need to be changed, but my issue is that type of fabric is probably very easy to rip or cut or damage bc it doesn’t any resistance to pull or pushing the snaps around I imagine, so would you recommend me to find someone to do it or do you think i could try it by myself? Thank you so much!
I think that's a question for you to answer. How comfortable do you feel with it? If the snap is functioning properly and you just want to change the color, maybe look into getting some nail polish to touch up the color instead of replacing the snaps.
Bought a jacket with a busted snap. It was half priced, so figured I would buy it anyway and fix it with the provided parts. Now I see I don't have the tools, plus the snap hole is only part way through the winter coat, so would require ripping stitches and resewing them after finished. Good to see how to do it though!
Hi! I just watched this video for a jacket snap replacement (just the male side) and it was SUPER helpful - thanks! Unfortunately the snap is a little loose as I think the nub is a bit longer. Do you know where I can find those spacers? Need about 12mm-14mm?
I don't know where to find the spacers. I've never seen them anywhere but in the existing snap I remove. You can create a little donut of fabric that would work just as well.
@@TailorItYourself The spacers are just nylon (plastic) washers available at any hardware (or sewing?) store. They not only create a tight fit but help distribute the load so the snap doesn't pull thru the fabric.
@@TailorItYourself Thank you again so much for this exceptionally clear and helpful video -- I just replaced the female/button side of the snap on a beloved coat because of what you taught me!
Thanks for the video, just one fondamental question about measures: do I use the same garment for different button size (exemple 12,5 mm and 15 mm / 0,49 inch and 0,59 inch)?
I only need to replace one side of my jacket, it’s the part that snaps in, it’s a Columbia jacket. There’s still the round metal part inside the fabric, can you help me figure this out
Thanks for the detailed video! Since I'm just looking to repair one cardigan for now and not planning to install tons of snaps in the future, I'm thinking of getting just a setter and anvil set to save money. A lot of the sets I'm seeing just say "snap setter and anvil" rather than "spring snap setter and anvil." The ones that do specify they're for spring snaps happen to not be in the size I need (24L / Line 24 / 5/8"). Do the setter and anvil need to specify they're for spring snaps, or are the tools the same even if they just say "snap setter"? Thanks for your time!
The tools are different for the size, but not the style of snap. Snaps can have many names. But the recommended tools list in the description links to the two different kinds I'm familiar with.
Not that I'm aware of! You'll need something that can get in between the two pieces and separate them without damaging the fabric. So if you can think of something else I'd be interested to see what you find.
No idea! I've only seen them when removing existing snaps. If you need to take up space I would cut little donuts out of fabric until you get the appropriate thickness.
You want something that can crush and cut the pieces apart. Sometimes you can pull them apart with pliers, but this requires you to pull on the fabric more which can result in damaging the fabric. I'd recommend using a wire cutter or other nippers.
Nope! I think you want something that works well in your hard. Mine is a bit too large for my hard and can be a bit fiddly sometimes. I could do with a new one.
so the female part fell out of my hoodie. what if the whole seems bigger, do you just get a bigger size snap set? or should you do something to the whole like sew up tighter or what?
Any tips of putting a new one on when ones fallen off? The fabrics a little ragetty from where it came off, any way to increase the hold of a new one/patch up the torn fabric where the old one was?
Not really. You'll need to close up the old buttonhole in order to have a stable surface to add the snap. And you'll see the buttonhole underneath the snap. It's doable, but it'll look odd.
Hi! Do you think snaps would work on shoes? I have some new shoes that the Velcro sucks on it and when I walk it comes undone. I was thinking of putting these on them but don’t know if that’s a thing?
Yes, I think that should work as long as the area you're adding the snap to isn't too thick. If it's too thick there may not be enough length on the parts to properly lock together when you hammer them.
are the parts removed of the "female" snap reusable? I want to do a kind of Switch of those snaps from one fabric to another, but I am wondering if I remove them, they will not be usable again
Any time you're adding a snap where there wasn't before you'll need to punch a hole through the fabric to make room for the hardware. You can do it with a sharp scissors if you're careful, but otherwise you can buy a rotary punch at any hardware store that will give you a few size holes to choose from.
Hi there so I been trying to order the correct snaps but get no where I have a varsity jack with a missing snap not the front part but the part where the snap clicks but I keep getting the wrong type or size I measured it I thought it was 12mm but I am not very good at measuring I have a few varsity jackets and spotted it's a generic snap on most so my question is what's the correct snap for the varsity jack and size this is a massive help for what to do I have the small tools u use I just need to find the correct size and correct type
You'll need to do a small repair of the area before installing a new snap. Find a matching thread color, and either use a sewing machine to stitch back and forth over the area to reinforce it, or hand sew your fabric together as best you can.
Hey there! I recently got a jacket and I realized that the snap is like in…3 sections I guess because it has a detachable scarf as an accessory. So…it has your standard spring snap look to it, but the female side snaps into another piece that’s on the inside of the jacket and quite frankly, I don’t want to cut the jacket open in order to fix this…what else can I do?
Depends on where you go to have the work done. I charge $5-7 per snap. It'll be a little more up front to do it yourself as you'll need the tools and the parts but then you're pretty much set for life.
Hi, I have a question. My jacket has metal spring caps, it's the last button on the bottom, it's male spring cap is fine, and it's only the female spring cap that broke out, and some of the fabric is gone too, but it doesn't have a button on the exterior, just the fabric that it's made out of. Is it possible that you replace the female spring cap, and repair the fabric that was lost? Thank you.
There is a button part, it's just in between the layers of the placket. You'll need to open that up, repair the fabric, reinstall a new snap, and then close the placket. Or you could just do it quick and dirty and put the new snap through the placket, but the button portion of the snap will be visible on the outside of the jacket.
@@TailorItYourself Thank you for the advice! However, my jacket doesn't have any visible buttons on the exterior, that's why I'm wondering if you can repair the button from the interior; without having to put a button on the exterior.
It's hard to say exactly what you need without seeing how it's constructed. If you'd like to email me a picture I can give better guidance - tailorityourself@gmail.com
Hello. I am wondering if you can help me figure out what the names of some snaps I need to find to add to 2 coats that I bought that are too big. I took photos to show you, but I can not find a way to add the photos here in the comments. Is there any other way I can send them by messenger to you? Thanks .
You're asking how to make a coverall into a jacket? That's more redesigning than alterations. I couldn't say exactly what you need to do without seeing how the garment is constructed, but it will be a fairly advanced process.
Please don't take this the wrong way because I truly mean it as the highest of praise, it is so so VERY refreshing to see a girl doing something actually feminine and not being embarrassed to do it. Not only are you not embarrassed your knowledge on the subject matter is very evident. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
I have a shop in Rochester, MN called Trester Tailor. Before you go that route, you could maybe check for tailors for shoe repair places in your area. But if you'd like me to take a look at something you can find my business information at trestertailor.com.

Hello, do you think snap buttons like these would work to secure a jacket liner to the inside of a jacket
Possibly. Usually that's done with a zipper. But it depends on how the jacket is made.
Is there a tool for removal? Something other than the wire clippers you used?
Not that I'm aware of! You'll need something that can get in between the two pieces and separate them without damaging the fabric. So if you can think of something else I'd be interested to see what you find.
@TailorItYourself where can I buy these plastic spacers?
No idea! I've only seen them when removing existing snaps. If you need to take up space I would cut little donuts out of fabric until you get the appropriate thickness.
If not have wire cutter can you use pliers to take apart or something else usually found in a home (instead of me having to buy a wire cutter)?
You want something that can crush and cut the pieces apart. Sometimes you can pull them apart with pliers, but this requires you to pull on the fabric more which can result in damaging the fabric. I'd recommend using a wire cutter or other nippers.

Where can I find multi colored pearl snaps for flannels?
The old Google machine is your best bet.
Great demo! Thank you
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Can I reuse the out side of the snap cap? As it is quite a unique peace that is hard to match.
No, once the pieces are hammered together they can't be reused.
Any tips of putting a new one on when ones fallen off? The fabrics a little ragetty from where it came off, any way to increase the hold of a new one/patch up the torn fabric where the old one was?
I have a video showing how to do repairs. You'll do a repair of the area first and then install the new snap.
I have a leather jacket and would like to replace the regular button to a snap on button. Is that doable?
Not really. You'll need to close up the old buttonhole in order to have a stable surface to add the snap. And you'll see the buttonhole underneath the snap. It's doable, but it'll look odd.

If the only thing wrong with the button is one of the springs in a spring snap is there any way to bend that spring back out?
Unfortunately no. If the spring bars are damaged you'll need to replace that side in order for it to function.

No idea. It's an old wire cutter I've had for years. Any wire cutter will work.

@@TailorItYourself Thank you for the advice! However, my jacket doesn't have any visible buttons on the exterior, that's why I'm wondering if you can repair the button from the interior; without having to put a button on the exterior.
It's hard to say exactly what you need without seeing how it's constructed. If you'd like to email me a picture I can give better guidance - tailorityourself@gmail.com
Thanks so much
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching.
Is there a way to repair/replace snaps without the tool? Help please.
Not really. They're designed to lock the pieces together. Without them you'll just smash the parts and they won't hold.
Hello. I am wondering if you can help me figure out what the names of some snaps I need to find to add to 2 coats that I bought that are too big. I took photos to show you, but I can not find a way to add the photos here in the comments. Is there any other way I can send them by messenger to you? Thanks .
You can email me at tailorityourself@gmail.com.
@@TailorItYourself Perfect. Thanks for the super quick reply. I will send it to you now.
Ok, I have sent you an email with photos and a note. Thanks
So i need that red tool.
hi hello good morning very nice work, super and beautiful.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you
You're welcome!
How to repair coverall into a jacket?
You're asking how to make a coverall into a jacket? That's more redesigning than alterations. I couldn't say exactly what you need to do without seeing how the garment is constructed, but it will be a fairly advanced process.
Thanks
Need tool to remove snaps
You can find a recommended tools list in the video description.
Thank you ..
You're welcome!
Please don't take this the wrong way because I truly mean it as the highest of praise, it is so so VERY refreshing to see a girl doing something actually feminine and not being embarrassed to do it. Not only are you not embarrassed your knowledge on the subject matter is very evident. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
I'm not sure this a gendered tutorial, but I'm happy you enjoyed it either way.
wow cool
Thanks!
thanks so much, I have a dickies jacket that 2 snaps broke, no Im gonna fix it
That's great! I wish you luck.
Super!!
Are there any women's jeans that close with snap buttons?
I'm sure there are. But a bachelor button is much more common on jeans.

Do you have a business so i can send my wallet over to get some snap buttons installed?
I have a shop in Rochester, MN called Trester Tailor. Before you go that route, you could maybe check for tailors for shoe repair places in your area. But if you'd like me to take a look at something you can find my business information at trestertailor.com.
@@TailorItYourself excellent thank you. I don't want to mess it up, nor have the time and patience.
I have all the replacement parts. There are some placed that need to be restitched. Don't know if you have any machines that can work through leather...
