I'm having trouble with the "Iron-on" velcro closure at the back. I need to just replace it with snaps, I think.

All the children at daycare/preschool noticed them and we received many compliments. (They are easy to make - use a knife and spoon to hollow out an orange, cut out a face, then fill it back up with the orange pieces and sliced grapes.)
