Magnetic Closures

Good Afternoon.
Has anyone added a magnetic closure to the button hole bag?? I've had quite a few requests to add them, but how do I hide the hardware? or does anyone have a source for sew on magnetic closures? Any help would be appreciated...I have to make 5 purses within the next 2 weeks.

Comments:
I have made several bags using the magnetic snaps. Some of them I have lined, and the other ones I used a ribbon that matched the color of the bag. Just attach the hardware to ribbon and then sew or glue the ribbon to the bag where you want the snap to be. You can have the ribbon go all the way around the bag or just where the snaps go. I hope this helps.
 
I have used a magnetic closure on a different felted bag, and I lined it as well. The closure is easy to install in a lining if you just follow the closure directions. Nany's ribbon idea is good if you don't want a lining. I line all bags I make as it looks more "finished" to me.
 
Thanks for the great ideas!!! I think I will try both the ribbon and hot glue gun ideas.I'm not into lining the bags (me no sew)
 
another question...
do you attach the hardware "pre felting"? i'm trying to attach post felting, on my purse, and i can't get through the yarn.
