Magnetic snaps are often use as purse’s or bag’s closure. I prefer using magnetic snap as it looks more stylish than sewn-on snap button. Plus, it is easier to deal with.

I know a shop in Kota Bharu selling these, but it’s quite costly. RM4 for each pair! Aiiyaaaa, that is so expensive lah! :bawl:  I beg for discount and the shop owner only gave me RM0.50/pair off, IF i buy 5 pairs~

So, I really… really need your help :pfft: do tell me, where can I buy magnetic snaps… without costing me bones and limbs! ps:

My findings…

I search on eBay and found this user (Ah Kwok Supplies) from Hong Kong. Besides magnetic snaps, they have other things like purse feet, purse frame and buckles… which really delectable! :inlove:

Not to forget, on Etsy! I’ve found a shop (CottonTouch) selling similar crafty supplies and she’s from Thailand. So, that means shipping must be cheaper since Thailand is nearer to Malaysia… rite? :hehe:

Opinions!

So, what do you think? Is it wise for me to buy these, online? I dunno if I will be charged with tax or not. But, it is definitely cheaper rite

Amy Butler’s Midwest Collection from Little Cherubs Heirloom

I’m satisfied with the whole collection consists of 10.5 yards of fabric with 21 designs. Owh yeah, it’s overwhelming you know. Drooling over these gorgeous fabrics, I’m still thinking on how to use these for which craft project. Afraid that I’ll be wasting them.

Fabric type is lightweight cotton, suitable for quilts and craft projects like Ohimesan™, laptop sleeves, mini purse and checkbook cover.

For each yard, I spent MYR31.82 (according to the currency rate at the time of purchase) which is OK cause I usually buy fabrics max RM35 per meter and do note that 1 yard is less 3 inches than 1 meter.

• Total : USD103.36 = MYR334.12
• Shipping using Global Priority Mail Flat-rate Envelope : USD11
• Shipped on : 29th April, 2008
• Release from Custom : 5th May, 2008
• Package Received : 8th May, 2008
• Time frame : 10 days!

Yeay!

I love googling for online stores in Malaysia. As you all know, I work in Hulu Terengganu, spend my weekends in Terengganu and Kelantan. I’m constantly traveling and really didn’t have time to do surveys for cheap bargains and looking for crafts shop. With just a few clicks, you can buy what you want. Beat the traffic and save your feet from sore blisters.

I stumble upon this online store while googling for FIMO polymer clay. I was tempted by Sing Yee after seeing her kawaii creation, Lolly Lollipop! Thanks to her, for this great findings!!
