I am making a leather brooch for my Mother in Law for x-mas... so I need advice, quick! I've glued the leather together with leatherweld, but I need to glue a metal pin on the back of the ornament. It's a 3d flower, lots of petals, so it's quite a heavy piece. What should I use to adhere metal to the leather? Crazy glue, or what? I didn't think that the leatherweld would be a tight enough bond between the two materials. Thanks!

Be careful and experiment on scrap leather with both before trying it on anything important.

A great glue! Waterproof, tough, a strong bond. Available at hardware stores and craft supply.
It is what I use to glue my mask straps with.
All my best,
