Where to buy snaps for crackers?

miss choc

I am making homemade Christmas crackers this year and have all the stuff I need but just need to get the snaps for putting into the crackers. I rang the Art and Hobby shop but they dont have them and no answer from Eason's anyone know where I could get them I just need about 8 snaps.

Ebay have some ....for 2.32 euro, they don't mention shipping to Ireland but just email them, i'm sure they will accomodate you (i've done this often to great success). Never seen any in art/craft shops here.

Try Inspiring Ideas in Banchardstown, http://www.inspiringideas.com/ they might have them, but also try An Siopa Bui in Galway, they had them a year or two ago http://ansiopabui.ie/
