How to use

If you are using this kit to repair an existing piece of clothing, you can skip step one if the existing hole is still useable for the snap button fasteners.

1. Use the hollow punch to make a hole in the fabric in the place you want to fit your popper stud; you do this by using a mallet or hammer to drive the hollow punch through the material. Do this on both sides of the material you want to connect together, so make two holes. Top Tip: Take a little bit of time to check your material lines up as you want and make a mark with a pen.
2. Place the male stud onto the setter base on the indented side and thread your material over the post.
3. Place the post over the thread and material, then take the installation tool with the flat top and bevelled centre and hammer the pieces together to create a fixture. Pull on the post to see if it is secure, if not hit it again till it will not come off.
4. Flip over the setter base to the flat side. Place the cap onto the flat side of the setter base.
5. Place the other side of the material over the caps post and place the female socket over the top.
6. Use the installation tool that looks like a point inside the female connectors opening.
7. Hammer into place until secure.
8. You have now fully installed your snap button!
