So, on the top piece of fabric, I place one of the ring prong piece on the top side of the fabric and then push it through to the other side. Can you see the little prongs poking through on this side of the fabric? (You don’t have to push the prongs through before continuing, but I always do. This just assures that the prongs are pushed through in the right spot and won’t shift before I’m able to hammer it in place.)
Then, I place the stud piece (or you can do the socket piece first doesn’t matter) right on top of the prong pieces poking out. The prongs will fit into the grooves on the under side of the stud (and socket) piece.
Then, I place the hammer tool right on top of the stud piece and then hammer a few times. This secures the two piece together, clamping the fabric tightly between them.
Attach the other side of the snap the same way to the other piece of fabric, but place the prong piece on the under side of the fabric, with the prongs facing upward. Then place the socket piece on top of that and hammer down with your tool the same way. Now the 2 sides will snap into place, closing your pieces of fabric.
