I really like this concept. Use Style Snaps to hem pants that are too long for you, hubby or the kids. This is perfect for me as I get ready to shop the Fall Consignment Sales for the kids. It's always so hard to judge the length of jeans/pants.

You'll get 16 Style Snaps for $17.99 ($10 + $7.99 S/H). Or you can get 32 Style Snaps for $25.98 ($10 + $7.99 S/H + Extra $7.99 Processing Fee).
