? about converting velcro to snaps

bdschad · March 2012

Has anyone done this? I have Bumgenius 4.0 in the hook and loop and we replaced all the tabs and they still aren't sticking. I am thinking about getting them converted to snaps.

Has anyone used someone who does a great job at this? What is your experience after they have been converted? Do you have any issues where the landing strip use to be in reguards to leaks?

Thanks!

I converted mine to snaps using a tutorial similar to this one and Kam snap pliers. The tutorial I had was only pictures and did one row of snaps and two snaps in a row on the side tabs. It was really easy, but you do need to take your time, make a template for the snaps and put it away when you get tired. GL. I have been very happy with the snaps and am very glad I did it. After I was done witht he BGs I converted some HH that had curling velcro. I did two rows on them.

I'm currently in the process of this and so far the one diaper I got through came out great (surprisingly for me, who's not AT ALL crafty!). I searched for videos on youtube and that was extreeeeemly helpful! I also went to Joanne Fabrics and ordered all my snaps & snap pliers. They have an entire section for cloth diapers!

There are also some people who will convert them for you for around $3.75/diaper but I just didn't like the fact that I wouldn't have most of my diapers for an extended period of time. This way I can at least convert them at my own pace.
