Introduction
A spring snap fastener is a type of fastener that is commonly used in clothing, bags, and other accessories. It consists of two parts: a socket and a stud. The socket is usually attached to one piece of fabric, while the stud is attached to another piece of fabric. When the two pieces of fabric are brought together, the socket and stud snap into place, creating a secure fastening. In this article, we will provide you with detailed installation steps for a spring snap fastener.
