How to Sew on Snaps {Press Studs} : Easy Tutorial for Beginners

Learn how to sew on snaps (also called press studs). These simple clothing closures are easy to sew and are a great alternative to buttons for beginner sewers. They come in different sizes and can be made of metal or plastic. Most have 4 holes but if yours has more you can still use the same method.

Thank you. It’s amazing how something so simple can be screwed up so badly when you don’t know what you’re doing!

[@loves2spin2]

Thank you for this. I've struggled to sew snaps on neatly for decades, and just today it occured to me to look on KZbin. :)

[@Kj16V]

[@boofuls]

I can see an issue. Since your use one continuous piece of 🧵 if the thread breaks through wear and tear the press stud will eventually work loose .. perhaps your should use 4 separate 🧵...its a time consuming pain ..but more secure 😊

[@treasurie]

You are right, but it would be very time consuming. Perhaps 2 lots? Or use thicker thread. Thanks for watching.

[@creepydoll2872]

Thanks. Ive been doing it wrong. This is easier!

[@treasurie]

Glad it helped!

[@Agenthoover1]

You dont need to mark the fabric with chalk or pencil to line the second snap up, the first snap has a hole all the way through the center, you can mark the position of the second snap through that hole with a needle.

[@treasurie]

Thats a great idea. Thanks for sharing your tip.

[@LisaReisRealtor]

I noticed that little hole...so that’s what it’s for? I’ll probably still mark it with a white pencil.☺️ can never be too exact!

[@caartista2258]

Awesome! Thank YOU

[@treasurie]

[@meredithbovee6967]

Do you have a video on how you set up the thread prior to the start of your stitching here? The doubling it through the needle and knotting the end

[@natashascholten381]

I want to be able to accurately put the press stud in the centre of a circle. can you recommend how to place the press stud exactly ?

[@treasurie]

Mark the center of the circle then place the stud on top. If you do the ball side first, put some pen or chalk on the ball and press it over to the other side. Then you will have a mark where to accurately put the second one.

[@ubaid_wani9]

Thx sister

[@treasurie]

You’re welcome 😊

[@mrsmomcat]

Is that a colored pencil or a specialized one for sewing?

[@treasurie]

You should use a fabric marking pencil so that any marks can be removed.

[@scampbell3207]

I have some garments with this type of fastening, but eventually the thread always comes undone and the fastener is hanging off or completely detached. How do you avoid this? Also, is there another type of concealed fastener for delicate fabrics? Thanks.

[@treasurie]

Hi, I always use upholstery thread (Gutterman brand) for buttons and snaps. It is thicker and stronger so doesn't break like you described. Sometimes metal fittings rust so affect the thread. Also using a thicker thread means you don't have to go through the holes as many times.

[@scampbell3207]

We were taught to go in and out through the fabric in a circle to hide the thread. This looks a little lazy and untidy.

[@treasurie]

Your way works too. This is for beginners so is designed to be the easiest. There is always several ways to do things in sewing. Thanks for watching.

[@cliffcarlo180]

[@pa6304]

wait my teacher only give me one cloth for the snap how am i gona do this?

[@treasurie]

Cut it in half or put a snap on the left and right edges and fold it like a tube. So one half of the snap will go on the top and the other half on the underside. Then fold it in a tube and do up the snap. Good luck on your project!
