A couple of grown-ups who play dress-up (or at least make things to dress up in). Historically inspired, fantasy, cosplay and vintage; we make whatever inspires us. Robin is lean and elegant, a thoughtful perfectionist. Lisa prefers to make rather than to wear, finding inspiration in the oddest places. We are retired and sew whenever we aren't traveling.

Sad Face - the Epoxy/Snap idea was a failure - Robin
Two days total of gluing and curing and the suckers flaked off the hoop wire quite easily. Back to the drawing board. I think I'll try Margo Anderson's (at margospatterns.com) of drilling and stitching. I just don't want to duct tape them together. It's a thing I have. Lisa would happily duct tape 'til the cows came home, but I want to have something....less industrial.

Great idea and look, very clean. Maybe try vigorously sanding the shiny plastic band surface to 'rough it up'. Also sand and apply epoxy to an area larger than the snap to insure greater adhesion. Then try the snap test again.
