Scrapbooking snaps
Reminiscent of eyelets but do not have the hole, but is solid. To attach the snaps you need a hole in the same way as the eyelets. Make sure the hole is larger than the shot that you should use, because otherwise they will fall right through. When you sat in your snap, turn when your project with the back up.
