I glue(contact cement) the welting to the body after punching the holes. that way I can pull it tight, hole to hole. strip the welting back as above, fold the end over and glue. Then install the smallest pop rivet I can find to keep the ends in place. some welting tends to shrink in time and the rivet holds it real good.
