KamSnaps Review and Give-away - Now closed

Today I am happy to review the KamSnaps Snap Pliers and Plastic Snaps!


As you know, I like to make bibs.  I even sell my bib pattern.  I have made many, many bibs and all with a metal snap that had to be pounded in with a hammer.  Often the snap wouldn't work properly and I'd have to redo it, sometimes over and over.  I've even ruined a bib trying to get the snap in.  My friend Rebecca had a KamSnap Pliers and Plastic snaps.  I had my doubts that a plastic snap would work well in my bibs, as they are 3 layers thick but she offered that I try it out and I am so glad I did!



So, so easy to use!  And so professional looking too.  I have had a 100% success rate with these snaps and I am now having fun using them in all sorts of applications.


KamSnaps is a great company to work with.  They shipped my snap pliers and snaps right away.  They offer free shipping for US orders of $28 or more and on Canadian orders of $35 or more.

Not only that they give away a free set of pliers for every 100 new facebook fans & Twitter followers. For every 1000, they will give away a snap press!

Check out their blog where they constantly hold giveaways and post the latest sales and announcements: http://kamsnaps.blogspot.com/.



Soother straps are a fun and easy baby gift (or a baby gift add-on).  KamSnaps also sells the clips that I used to make mine.


Are you new to snaps?  KamSnaps has a comprehensive Getting Started page on their website.  Check it out if you are wondering about something snap-related.

They also have a great tutorial page which has a bunch of diaper conversion tutorials as well as a few other handy ones, such as this roll up tote which would make a great grocery bag.


I ordered the plain snaps but KamSnaps has an abundance of other fun snaps to play with too!  They offer star and heart-shaped snaps in many colours.  They sent me a few fun ones to play with, which I did.  But I gave the bib away before I took a photo of it.  Oops.  It looked very cute with the red star snap!


The engraved snaps are also super cute.  How about a VW Beetle in Gray?!


Or a turtle in Red?
Take a look at the many choices for engraved snaps, including Ooga Booga.

    I love using my snap press for lots of projects like bibs and soother straps like you, as well as diapers, clothing, pouches and more! Would love to have a pair of pliers for smaller projects, and to take along with me to use while away from home. Thanks for the chance!

  2. I would love to have one of these tools. Now that I have grandchild(ren) to sew for it would come in very handy for bibs, overalls, etc.

  3. I have a snap system that requires a hammer, so I'd love to win a set of pliers to try out. I've mostly used the snaps on diaper covers for my babies, but I've sometimes used them for other baby gift items, like roll-up changing pads. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  14. My friend was bragging about these snaps but I can't afford the pliers yet. I have a store in La Conner and would make embroidered items like wallets, kids clothes, aprons, bags, and more... all with snaps of course.

  25. I've been using the Kam snaps for awhile and love them. I used them on the wee ones Halloween costume and on coveralls for him. I've made bibs and of course my main reason for starting to use them was for diapers. They are wonderful and cause me to giggle like a schoolgirl when I see how cute they make any completed project look.

  26. I forgot to mention in the above comments that with me having arthritis in both hands, the pliers are so very very easy to use. So any Grandma or Mommy that is concerned about that... they got you covered.

  27. OOOhh I would LOVE to use snaps... I have a diaper pattern & a trainer pattern that use them, but I could probably find a million other uses... and I just love the soother clip.. I'd totally do that! I've also seen them used on little belts for kids and stuff... it would be super fun!

  35. Like you, I make bibs all the time. My little one is at the drooling stage, and I also give them as gifts. My snap tool is just pathetic, and I'm currently just using Velcro instead. I would love, love, love to try their pliers and cute snaps! Thanks for the giveaway, hope to win :)
