We chose to add two heavy duty snaps as closures for each end
of our bag, instead of using magnetic snaps, because they will
hold more weight without opening. Follow the directions on your
snap kit, to add snaps as desired.
Attach the prepared leather squares to the bag as shown, one part
of the fixture on the front and back of the bag. Be sure to check the
alignment by using a ruler to measure the center within the straps.
For the side of our bag, we wanted the look of an oversized button,
but preferred again to use a snap-style closure to prevent having
to button and unbutton to use the bag. We mounted the snaps to
small squares of the leather used in our straps, as shown here.
Using a needle and thread, sew the button to the front of the bag,
over the outside of the snap. This will allow the button to move as
if it is the actual closure.
Your Boho Tote is now complete, and ready for adventure!
