What are these snap things & their cover called? And where is the best place to buy them in bulk at best price?
Thanks.

Im not sure about the name but they come in kits of 10 or more. Its a 2 piece setup that comes with a punch to bind them to the fabric. We got a kit to make new straps.

Home Depot has a kit with the punch, holder and both snaps and caps. Something like 8 bucks.

You can buy similar ones in plastic at Menards in various sizes. It looks like your cap is cloth covered to match your upolstery. You could try http://www.mcmaster.com/
