Canvas Telescope case straps, what, or how, are they used?

Thanks gentlemen, the instructions and the photo did it. It is not easy as mentioned, especially with mine, as the canvas of the cover must have shrunk as in closing the cover flap it didn't pull down as far as the one in the photo and the closing strap had to fit over the strip of canvas along the edge of the flap making it harder to secure the strap. Not the best method/design for securing the flap, I think the closing strap should have been located a little higher up on the flap. But at least I was able to do it. Ray
