How to Install a Magnetic Snap in a Bag (Step-by-Step Tutorial for Bagmakers)

Описание: Magnetic snaps don’t have to feel scary — this is the exact method I use to install them cleanly and securely in my bags.

In this tutorial, I walk you through exactly how I install prong-style magnetic snaps in bags and flaps so they’re secure, neat, and positioned correctly. I demonstrate the process step by step using the Starry Tote Bag as the example.

Instructor note: Prong-style magnetic snaps install the same way on both sides. I demonstrate the process once so you can apply it anywhere a magnetic snap is needed in your bag or flap.

This technique works anytime you’re adding a magnetic snap to a bag — whether you’re sewing a tote, lunch bag, or structured handbag. If magnetic snaps have ever made you pause mid-project, this walkthrough is designed to take the pressure off and show the process clearly.
