BAG CLASP...and P.S.

This is a GREAT bag clasp! Have any of you used it before? It is magnetized, so it closes so nice.
This is the package it's from Clover called Bag's & Tote's, ,magnet tote bag closure 3/4"Get you local fabric/quilt store to get them for you, they are really fast.

I included the directions, from the back, (sorry about the bad photo) but you make two little slits in your fabric, put the prongs through, add the top on the prongs, bend the prongs .....THAT IS IT! It was about $4.00, but well worth it.
P.S. Here is a photo of the yo-yo buttons I put on my bag. I made a yo-yo and used a 1 1/4" covered button!

Thanks for the info.! I have a bag pattern, and the fabric for it, but hadn't decided on a clasp. I'll look for one of these.
Your bag is still adorable!

I have used magnetic clasps before but not that brand and mine have NO directions! Thanks for the tip.

I need to get me one of those for the bag that I have in the works!

I've used a magnetic closure before but haven't seen the Clover brand...I like their other products, though, so I'll be on the look-out for this one! Thanks for letting us know about it!

The yo yo button are a cute touch. Just be careful of the magnet closures. The can demagnatize your ATM cards if you get them to close. I have had it happen.

Thanks for sharing about the clasp. And the yo-yo buttons are so cute! What a great idea.

Hey Sheri,
You don't have an email to reply to so I will just do it here. My ATM card was probably an inch away from the clasp while it sat in my purse. I don't have a separate wallet just slots in the side of the purse. When I tried to use it, I couldn't and the bank teller asked me if I had a magnetic clasp. Yes, and so then I went and found a new purse. Do You know magnets can do a lot of damage to computer too? My husband says a little one might not but why take a chance.
