Where can I buy plastic snaps to match the side snaps on a poncho.
If I hang an 80 x 44 poncho diagonally over my ridgeline I think I can create a half sock by snapping it to the edge of my hammock.
My idea is to sew one end of a 2" elastic strip to the hammock and then attach a snap to the other end. The purpose of the elastic is to provide some give because it will be a tight fit to attach the poncho.
I would still like to buy the snaps, but it occurred to me I may be able to attach the poncho to the hammock by using those elastic straps for keeping sheets on a bed.

They attach with a button like an old timey garter belt.
Do you think that snap would hurt the hammock?
Like these? snaps
Any fabric store in the notions department.

Grip Clips maybe?

Thanks guys.
Pip, I go to Hancock Fabric a lot more than before I joined HF (before HF that would be zero times), but I still dont know everything they carry.
Aaron,
I actually used a home made grip clip to attach the poncho to the gathered end of the hammock. I didnt think about using them on the sides.

+1 -- Kamsnaps are great! A bit pricey if you only need one or two, but they seem to work better, attach more securely and are easier to install than any of the others I've tried.
