Tips On Riveting: Drill or punch a 1.6mm hole into each of your pieces using a tool such as our Two Hole Metal Punch. If you prefer the look of a large rivet, string the nail head from the front of your design. For a small rivet string the nail head from the back. Turn over your piece and cut the straight end of rivet very short to approximately 1/16" above blank or metal piece. You can use a wire cutter such as our 4 Inch Jewelry Wire Cutting End Cutter Pliers for this. Use a Ball Peen or Chasing hammer to flatten the straight end of the rivet.
