Hand crafting is also using the right tools for the right purpose. Here, I'm hand setting a snap button using the punch delivered with the kit I bought at the beginning of my activity.

Since then, I bought a new Oka Factory punch surface for a better look on the button cap (smoother).

1 - pierce your holes
2 - install the stud, and add the post (the make part going into the other female part), using the female punch and the back of the punching surface.
3 - install the snap cap (decorative exterior) with the socket (the female part) using the male punch and the debossed side of the punching surface.
4 - Done, congratz!

Here, I'm hand setting a snap button using a punch surface bought on Amazon. But you can find it on Etsy and AliExpress too:
