Default Recovering sewing machine box

I am in process of covering my 159.262 Kenmore box. Here are some pics before and after removing the old paper. Also pic of metal snaps. My question is should I remove the snaps which are held on by brads (I think they are called that) or should I try to glue the leather covering around them? What type of glue should I use to attach the leather to the box? I am thinking of spray painting the inside of the box.[ATTACH=CONFIG]411217[/ATTACH]I purchased this little cutie last year for $15.00 at a thrift store. It has the long shuttle type bobbin and sews a beautiful straight stitch. Thanks for any help you can give me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]411218[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]411219[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]411220[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]411221[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]411222[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]411224[/ATTACH]
