1.Establish the stitching position—Identify the midpoint situated between the two straps and descend precisely three rows beneath that midpoint.

2.Ready the stitching apparatus—Select a hand-sewing needle and thread it with a single strand of yarn.

3.Affix the leather tag—Position the leather tag accurately and initiate the stitching at the upper right corner to anchor it, then thread the tail back through the fabric to conceal the end.

4.Secure the final corners—Advance to the three unstitched corners of the leather tag, completing the process at each corner; finally, weave the tail ends back into the seams to achieve a polished finish.
