Leather rivets

How to set rivets in leather? 1) Mark the place where you want to make the hole. This is especially important when creating designs that you want to look professional. 2) Make a hole in the leather. You can do this manually with an awl or with a leather awl. 3) Push the rivet through the underside of the leather. The lower part of the skin is usually less worked and often lighter in color. 4) Place the piece of leather on the anvil. You can buy nice little anvils at most leather stores. 5) Place the rivet on the post. Some rivet caps make a rattling or clicking sound when you put them on the shelf. 6) Place the rivet on the cap. The rivet looks like a small metal cylinder and has a hollow end which makes this plug a good fit. 7) Strike the saddle with a soft or small hammer. Do not strike the setter with too much force as this may damage the rivet. 8) Make sure the rivet is present.
