Backpack strap buckle

Step 1

Use a seam ripper to rip out the thread.
The thread to be cut is the one that attaches the buckle to the strap. It's usually sewn to form an X on it.

Step 2

Pick up the strap buckle that was attached to the strap.
Take out the material from the old buckle.

Step 3

Place the material into the new buckle.
Look for the original spot which it was originally sewn and place it there.

Step 4

Use a needle and thread to sew the material linking strap and buckle to the bag.
Using a sewing machine if available would make this easier.
Sew along the "X" outline on material attached to the buckle.
