Step 7Create a snap-on strap for an awkward tool.
Occasionally there will be an awkward tool that is not wider at one end and hence the simple elastic slot in step 6 is not suitable.
The tool used for securing eyelets and pop-on studs is one example. To secure this to the organizer I used tape and pop-on studs.
Place the tool in the desired position on the organizer and mark a point between the handles where the tape will be fastened. Also mark two points on either side for the pop-on studs.
Take a length of firm tape approximately 20cm (8inches) long. Fold in half and baste to the chalk mark between the handles.
Fold in about 3 cm of one end of the tape. Check that the tape will reach the point where the pop-on stud will be placed , plus leave a short length for 'grabbing' to undo the stud. With chalk mark the place on the tape where the second part of the pop-on stud will be placed.
Now using the tools provided for the pop-on studs secure the two parts of two pop-on studs in place. This was straightforward for the part on the tape but the part on the background posed a problem.
Neither the cheap plastic tool that is included in the pop-on stud packet nor the fancy tool had long enough 'arms' to reach the point where we needed the stud.
The solution was to use two separate cheap plastic tools. This is shown in the diagrams for this step.
Finally machine stitch the tape to the background fabric.
