SWIVEL SNAPS: 5/8" Swivel Snaps are widely available from many retailers in a variety of finishes and clasp styles. Check out the custom hardware groups like Wizardry Stitchery/Geeky Hardware, Sewful Therapy, Weft +The Warp, and more. The clasp I'm using in this video was from Amazon (the link I purchased from is no longer valid). I thought it best to use a retail-available version for this tutorial instead of custom hardware.
