The term 'Button Alternative' can refer to two different solutions: a STUD and a SNAP. A STUD is a type of fastener that consists of a cylindrical post with a head on one end and threads on the other, which is inserted into a hole and secured with a nut. A SNAP is a type of fastener consisting of two interlocking pieces that are pressed together to secure an item. Both of these solutions can be used as alternatives to buttons for securing clothing or other items.
