snaps or velcro?
I have been making bibs for the new babies in our family and have been using velcro for a closure. Do you think it would be better to use snaps? It would be easier, but I'm not sure what new mommies want. Any suggestions?
|
Have you ever made the bibs from finger-tip towels with the ribbing around the neck hole?
(Babies probably are less than thrilled with something going over their heads, but - - -) I have problems with Velcro losing its stickiness. Any suggestions for minimizing that problem? |
I am babysitting my 8 month old DGS and have had no problem with the velcro. I think that the velcro gives you more leeway when the baby's neck gets bigger.
|
I made a tutorial for a baby bib that tied. The suggestion I got was to change the ties to velcro as this is quick release in case the baby gets it hooked on something.
|
My DDs always asked for ties when I made baby bibs for grands.
|
I prefer large snaps or ties. I do not care for how the velcro wrinkles and looses stickiness after multiple washings.
|
I never liked the velcro because it would stick to everything in the wash. which would ruin the cloths it got stuck to. I would do snaps if it were me.
|
I use the plastic snaps on things I make for GKs. they hold up quite well.

I think it would depend what you are putting it on.

I think the large plastic snaps are better. If a child has any hair it can get caught in the Velcro.
