They look great. I think they might pull and pop a bit better if you only put tape on one end of the snap when you’re assembling it. I didn’t realise they were a British thing. I kind of assumed everyone would have them.

They need each other to open these rolls. Merry Christmas to you and your whole family, stay happy and healthy and funny! Love, Monika❣️
