How to Add a Magnetic Snap

A magnetic snap adds a professional looking touch to any knitted or felted bag.

Instructions
Step 1: Using a fabric marker or pen mark on the wrong side of your lining where you want the snap to be added.
Step 2: Cut out a piece of fusible interfacing that is slightly larger than the snap and attach it to the fabric following the instructions that come with the interfacing. Notes Adding a fusible interfacing to the fabric beneath the snap is optional, but is recommended for thin fabrics. Plastic mesh, available at craft and sewing stores, could be used in place of the fusible interfacing.
Step 3: Hold the two prongs of the snap next to the lining at the point you marker earlier. Make 2 marks where you want the snap prongs to come through the fabric.
Step 4: Using a straight pin transfer the marks to the other side of bag. This will line up the two sides of the snap.
Step 5: Cut 2 small slits through the fabric and interfacing on those marks.
Step 6: Slide the snap's prongs through the slits from the right to wrong side of the fabric.
Step 7: Secure the snap by placing the washer over the prongs and folding them down.
Step 8: Attach the other piece of the snap to the other side of the lining repeating steps 5-7.
