How to remove a no-sew snap

April 16, 2010 by LindaG

How do I remove a no-sew snap?

Depending on the exact type of snap it is and how it was applied, it may or may not be possible to remove it without seriously damaging the fabric. If you do remove it, there will be a hole in the fabric where the snap sections were inserted, so you’ll need to mend the hole and then cover with something else, like a button or larger sew-on snap.

To try and remove the snap, get a thin-tip screwdriver and wiggle it in between the snap and the fabric, then pry to pop the snap sections apart. Repeat the process for the other half.

If you are successful in removing it without seriously damaging the fabric, reinforce the hole with a small bit of fusible interfacing on both sides of both holes.
