101 Uses for KAM Snaps: Sensory Book

There is no better toy for a child than an interactive one that engages their mind and helps them in their development process. Especially when you can make it yourself easily using stuff you already have! Here is a great idea found on Craftster.org shared by user Christephi. She calls it a fastener book because each page showcases a different type of fastener, such as a zipper, shoelace, buckle, buttons, velcro and of course snaps. We like to think of it as more than that though because it helps with coordination and tactile sensory--not to mention it's entertaining!

101 Uses for KAM Snaps: Fabric Basket

This is a beautiful fabric basket made by Craftaholic Mommy. Snaps are used at the corners so that the basket can be completely flattened to save storage space. Optional dividers are added to compartmentalize. If you don't want to make your own, you can custom order one from Craftaholic Mommy.

101 Uses for KAM Snaps

Here are a few more great ways to use your KAM snaps.

Reusable Container made from a Milk Jug
Tutorial at
familyfun.go.com. The tute uses velcro as the closure but snaps can be easily substituted.

Removable Diaper Ruffles
Change the look of your baby's diapers by adding sweet little ruffles.

Spa Towel Wrap

Lunch Bag
Use insul-fleece to keep hot food hot and cold food cool. Tutorial at sewcando.com. Or make a larger version and use it as an insulated grocery bag!

Scissor Holder Necklace with Removable Pin Cushion

thezenofmaking.com

Mittens
Add snaps to mittens and gloves to keep them attached to the sleeve of your child's jacket.

Onesie with Interchangeable Bow Ties
Not only are snaps used to secure the bottom of onesies, you can also add them to bow ties and snap them to the onesie for a dapper look.

Weighted Snap Bags
Snap bags open a new world of gross-motor, fine-motor and social skill game opportunities. Make them in various colors with numbers and shapes for sorting and matching. Use different textured fabric for sensory therapy. Throwing and catching are made easy with two Snap Bags linked together. Attach all six and use as a shoulder or lap weight for a calming presence.

Suck Pads
If your baby has a tendency to suck on the straps of your ergo carrier, add these suck pads to keep the straps clean. Tutorial at doityourselfec.blogspot.com

Wet Bag with Loop
The snappable loop makes it possible to hang the bag from doorknobs, changing tables, towel bars or whatever else you might find.

Baby Carseat Cover
A carseat cover provides protection for baby from cold wind and rain. You can also add snaps to a baby blanket to keep it from falling off a stroller.

Adult Incontinence Snap-On Pants
With the snap closures, there's no need to take off slacks or trousers in order to remove the adult pants, so changing in public restroom is easier. Also a great option for those with mobility limitations and their caregivers.

Quick On/Off Snap Loop (Alternative to Key Rings)
Make your own simple & versatile snap loops for anything that needs to attached to something and removed often. The picture below shows the snaps on hard plastic but you can use any kind of fabric such as leather, grosgrain ribbon, elastic bands, etc. I like to put bells on my dogs' collars whenever we go to the park so I can always hear them but don't want the dogs wearing them at home, and with these snap loops, they're easy and quick to put on and take off. Make a loop for each key so that it's easy to remove a specific key from your key ring, such as when you bring your car to the shop and have to leave the car key with them. The possibilities are endless!

Sweat Band for Construction Hard Hats

Fun Hat with Chin Strap

Interchangeable Decorations on Shoes

Foldable Shopping Bag
It folds so you can easily keep a few in your purse. Tutorial at CraftingForMommies.Blogspot.com
