This tutorial shows you how to quickly and easily make a snap in soaker for your wool AI2/Diaper Cover.Step 1:
Make a template of the snap locations from the cover. Push the awl through the paper.
Step 2:Fold a birdseye prefold (I used Gerber's) with the thick part facing out and the two thinner sides folded over each other. You should prewash these before putting in snaps since they tend to shrink in the wash. Then mark the prefold using the template and a pen.
Step 3:
Snap away! Push the snaps through the prefold.
Congrats! You're done!Be careful when snapping and unsnapping them from the cover, you should hold both the soaker and the cover so as not to pull the snaps out.

Mama Squirrel says: You can use other types of fabric for the soakers (bamboo, microfleece, terry)
I just bought pliers and snaps from kamsnaps and wanted to say "thank you" for the snap templates! I am converting my aplix to snaps and really appreciate it! I plan to share my experience converting on my blog and will add a link here to the templates. :0)
