Snap Fastener Caps may be covered with cloth or leather. If leather is used, a piece having a diameter about three times that of the cap is skived thin on the edges, leaving full thickness on the portion which is to cover the surface of the cap, see sketches A and B. The cap is first attached with wax or glue to the end of a stick rounded to the diameter of the eyelet. The leather is then glued to the cap and edges folded close in under the surface of the fastener and around the stick, where it is tied tightly in place, sketch C. This is left several hours to dry, then the leather is cut with a knife around the stick close above the cord, and the stick removed from the covered cap which is ready to be attached in the usual manner, see sketch D.

Bag Plates are available for covering which have gilt frames which are clamped over a plate to which the skived leather has been cemented.
