Sewing Diaper Divas

Here is another thought - is there enough room on the diaper to just add new snaps and leave the old ones that were put on wrong? Kind of making it a fold over tabs so if you wanted to use it on an itty bitty you could make the waist even smaller. If not, this is what I do.
If it is the socket side of the snap that you are removing, take the clear rubbery stop off of the post of your pliers, then use the post at a 45/60 degree angle to straighten the squished part of the center. This makes a skinner area to pop off. Then try the method of turning the snap into the pliers sideways and pop it off. If that doesn't work, you can pry it apart with the small screw driver put between the 2 parts of the snap (the cap and the socket).
If it is the stud part of the snap set, I always have to pry mine apart by using the small screw driver that came with the pliers on the center of the stud (the part that came through from the cap) until it breaks. But be really careful if you have to do that because you can really gouge yourself (speaking from experience)!
