SPEC Size: 8mmx8mm, 6mmx6mm, 8x12mm Color: silver, gold, bronze, gunmetal Material: nickle-free brass Setting tools: punch tool, rivet setter, anvil How to Install Step 1 Selecting your material - match the length of your rivet to the thickness of your materials. The rivet should be long enough to get through the material you're using with about 1/8 inch to spare. Step 2 Mark where you want your hole. Make sure you measure out where your holes should be in the leather, and then mark the spot with a marker or pen. Step 3 Punch a hole in your leather - You can do this by hand with an awl or with a leather punch. The hole just needs to be big enough for you to get the post of the rivet through. Step 4 Push the rivet post up through the underside of the leather. Step 5 Place your leather piece on an anvil. Place it on the anvil with the bottom of the leather facing down and the post sticking up. Put the rivet cap on top of the post. Step 6 Place your rivet setter over the cap so that the cap is flush against the setter Step 7 Tap the setter with a soft mallet or small hammer. You don't want to hit the setter too hard, because that can dent the rivet. Instead, give the setter a few short taps with a soft mallet or hammer. Step 8 Check that the rivet is set. If the rivet has been set, you should be able to pick up the piece of leather without the rivet post or cap falling off. If they do, reset them and give the setter a little bit of a harder bang.
