How to Make Easy Snap Bags

[@geminigem599]

Lovely n thanks 😊

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you! I’m happy that you like them. I hope you make several!

[@geminigem599]

Will try after I buy the supplies.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Yes, make sure you get your own tape measure. You don’t want to take your husband or boyfriend’s tools! Hahaha 😆

[@jackiekashmer1295]

Thank you. I’ve watched other videos on snap bags but yours was the most concise and easy to follow

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for your kind comment. I hope you make a lot of them

[@topangasunrise]

How cool! I wonder if my husband will miss his older tape measure ... LOL

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Hahaha Just say to him you’ll buy him a new one, or you get yourself a new one and he won’t miss his! Thanks for your comment!

Great idea to use metal tape measure. I haven't got electrical tape at home, so I used plaster, worked fine too.

[@Sandra-ul8pu]

Great idea. I'm glad I saw your video. Will make a few. Sandra B. ❤️ 😊

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you! I’m glad you like them. I have made a few representing different sports teams.

[@dustycarter2729]

Great video, precise and to the point. Like the idea of sewing one side before inserting tape. I will try making 4” ones to attach to a sewing mat with Velcro for holding clips and half full bobbins.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for your comment! That is a great idea that you have for the use of these bags. Have fun making them!

[@janfisher1055]

thank you for making it easy to sew these bags and for the metal tape tip

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for your comment! I have noticed that there are different sizes in the metal measuring tape, so you can adjust the size to your project.

[@leslieschmidt9765]

Very well done! It was easy to follow and every step made sense. Thank you so much!

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you. Have fun making them!

[@celinagolo]

Your video is my favourite tutorial on the snap pouches that I’ve seen. Just subscribed. Thanks for sharing. 😀

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you! You can also make them in the fabric of your school colors, or favorite sports team. Have fun making them

[@Peppersrus3]

[@hartaviaadams8675]

[@NadoCrowFriend]

Great tutorial! Nice and concise.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you! It is so easy to make. I even had my grandkids make one ( with a little help). They loved them

[@rebeccagoetz3232]

Very informative tutorial. Thank you!

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you!! I hope you make several!

[@AvaScott-Elliott-qd7sm]

Thank god a quick easy tutorial...watching other ladies just drove me crazy....

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you. I’m glad you are able to get your information.

[@cindycarnes6441]

17x8.5” inside fabric 13x8.5” outside fabric 2-3” squares 2 7.5” tape measure ***my reference I ended up doing 10x14 for the outside and 10x18 for the inside. Then I do the measuring tape a little longer with2- 5" squares. This allows me to get an acrylic template created as a pattern so I can efficiently make them to sell.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thanks for that information. I really appreciate it!!

[@laurabridson1795]

Love video. What are measurements to cut for the sunglasses case?

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

I will try to get the measurements out real soon. Thank you for your inquiry and interest.

[@gloriacasanova7449]

I love it. What are the measurements for the eyeglasses case? Thank you.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for asking the question! I will be a video making the eye glass case and may alter a few of the measurements. These are what I have on this case: Outside fabric =14” x 4 1/2 “ Lining and cuff= 18” x 4 1/2” Batting = 14” x 4 1/2” Ribbon for the pulls 3” Tape measure 3-3 1/4” I hope you make a few!

[@carolynsavage7596]

Do you need to use a heavy duty tape measure?

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for your question. I have used both of them. The 16 foot tape measure from Home Depot had a thinner tape and that is what I use first. Then I got a longer tape and it was a little wider. I think I prefer the thinner one for the small snap bags, but it you are making a much larger one, the thicker tape measure may work better.

[@picotstitch1824]

How do we measure to make different sizes? Thanks

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thank you for your question! Decide what size you want, for example the finished product is 10” x 10”. The front will be cut 10” x 20” The batting is the same size The lining will add 2 “ on each end So the lining would be 10” x 24” The metal tape measure should be about 1-1.5” shorter than the sides So, cut the tape measure 8.5” This can work for any size bag The larger the bag, use a 1” wide tape measure, smaller bag, use 3/4 inch wide tape measure.

[@picotstitch1824]

Thank you

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

You are very welcome!

[@javiersanchez8440]

Awes🩷me!!

[@jeanchristie3867]

Don't like thecraw edges but nice video

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Yes I agree. You can also make them with French Seams which would enclose the seams so there are no raw edges.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Thanks for your comment. !

[@jeanchristie3867]

I make mine with no seams showing a bit more work but worth the effort but thank for your reply. Greeting from a wet south africa 🌻🌻🌻

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Yes, I have made a few with the French seams and it was more challenging to turn it inside out. Thanks for your comments ❤️

[@nancymathisen9707]

Maps? What’s a map? 😂

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

They are Snap bags. When you open the bag, the bag will snap back to close it. Thanks for the question!

[@nancymathisen9707]

@@jaddascraftcottage6335 It was a joke. You suggested storing maps in one. Hardly anyone uses paper maps anymore.

[@jaddascraftcottage6335]

Hahaha, You’re right!😀😀😀
