2. Let the glue dry for a few moments, then lightly sand the head of the snap fastener to improve adhesion.

4. Using thread, wrap the thread around the snap fastener shank several times to stretch the leather toward the inside of the snap fastener. Pull very tightly and tie a knot.
Allow the glue to dry for several hours (or even a whole day) to ensure a good hold.
