A bag with magnetic snaps is known as a magnetic bag. A snap fastener is a pair of interlocking discs made of metal or plastic that are often used to fasten garments and other items instead of traditional buttons. A round lip on the underside of one disc fits into a groove on the top of the other, securing them together until a particular amount of force is applied. In this article, we will provide you with all information about magnetic bags. Continue reading to know more.

What is a magnetic bag?

Magnetic bags aren’t new; they’re just a simple bag or purse with magnetic closures or snaps. As we know magnetic bag have poles, which are commonly referred to as North and South. Poles that are similar repel each other, while poles that are opposed attract each other. North ends are attracted to South ends, and vice versa. They will come together with enormous force if they are close enough together, depending on the strength of the magnet. This is the science behind magnetic bags.

Magnetic Snaps in A Bag – How to Use

Magnetic snaps give your bag and handbag a professional appearance and are easy to use. Follow these steps:

• SEPARATE

Start separating your magnetic snaps into four parts. You’ll notice that you have a male and female, as well as two round washer discs with holes. The masculine part of a purse is usually on the flap, while the female part is on the body.

Make sure you’ve cut out your bag sections and inserted any necessary interfacing before you start.

• REINFORCE

If your piece still feels a little thin, then iron a scrap of fusible interfacing to the wrong side of the cloth where you want the magnet to go. You don’t want to feel the magnet legs through the cloth when your bag is finished.

• MARKING

Place your circular disc in the spot you want the magnet on the right side of the fabric and draw the rectangle lines on either side.

Using a seam ripper, knife, or sharp scissors, cut along your defined lines. Make sure you’re not cutting too much. The fusible interfacing normally keeps the cuts from fraying, but if your fabric frays a lot, you could use a few drops of Fray Stop on each cut.

• ADD BACK PART

Push the legs of one piece of the magnet through the holes on the right side of the fabric. If your fabric is still too thin, add a scrap of fabric or more interfacing.

Legs should be pushed out to the side. To flatten the legs, use your hammer softly. This will make your magnet sit flatter, resulting in a more appealing final product.

• REPEAT THE SAME

Using the same way, place the opposite half of the magnet in the desired location.
