When last I bought snaps it was not complicated, I simply when to the local JoAnn's fabric and picked what I wanted. I bought a few different colors and a couple different kinds and a set tool kit. I never really thought much about it but that was a while ago and when I recently went to buy more I found it to be quite the challenge.
I went to the JoAnn's here and was severely disappointed in the lack of selection, all they carried were "kits" I couldn't buy just the snaps by themselves. I was expecting a package with 7-10 snaps in a $5-7 price range but the kits with tools included are $17.99. :-o I don't need the tools I already have them and with no option to buy just the snaps there was no way I was purchasing those "kits".
I have checked several local stores and no one has packages of just snaps in the style and size I wanted. Rather frustrating really that something that should be so simple became such a pain. I started searching online, the Dritz site doesn't sell direct they refer you to stores not that that matters because even they show those stupid over priced kits.
Sadly it has taken weeks of shopping and searching to do something as simple as "buy more snaps". ~sigh~ I finally found a reasonable option, the right style, nice size not too big, decent price, although I was only able to get 2 colors and neither is the black I had before. They will just have to do, I don't think it will matter too much, afterall the snaps go in the back and are not what you see when wearing the necklace. However, I had to order them online and it will take at least a week for them to ship and arrive. I did order quite a lot of them so I shouldn't run out again anytime soon. ~LOL~
