How to Add Magnetic Snaps to a Bag

From the blogger: "Here is an easy beginner sewing tutorial that will teach you how to insert magnetic snaps to a bag. Ready to make your bag look all fancy and stylish - within minutes? Though it may not look like a beginner project, it is pretty easy to install a magnetic snap to a bag. It is actually easier for some to install a magnetic snap rather than work with buttons (and buttonholes). Because magnetic snaps are EASY. See for yourself and learn how to give your DIY bags and purses a professional look - now!"

This is such a great tutorial. Lots of pictures and clear, easy to understand instructions. Note there is NO tutorial for the actual purse, just how to add the magnetic clasp. But a quick search is sure to earn you plenty of super easy tutorials for making a little purse to practice this new skill.

This type of tutorial is my absolute favorite! Bags are my thing, and I have made a lot of them, but I have never used a magnetic snap simply because I have not known how to attach them to the bag but this project provides such detailed step by step instructions that it seems like the easiest thing in the world to do! Thank you for these instructions, I will be using them often!
