Rubber bands is what I have used, just be sure to get ones that are loose so it won't cut thru

Pinch the piece of fiji leather between to pieces of LR and wrap a rubberband around that.

Leave most of the frag stick out between the 2 pieces of LR. In a few weeks take the rocks apart carefully making sure the frag stays attatched to one of them. The leather is going to be cranky for a while.

Another option is to put some rubble in a container with sand, then put the frags in the container and cover with a fine mesh like bridal veil, the frags will settle between the rubble and attach on thier own.
