1/2 inch rivet - 10 per listing

Stack, layer, collage... Rivet pieces of metal, leather, plastic, and more together to create a multi-dimensional pendant!

Simply punch or drill a 1.6mm hole into your pieces, and use a ball peen or chasing hammer to do the rest. It's fun, easy and addictingâEUR¦ you can rivet Vintaj charms, pendants, beads, flattened bead caps, hardware and findings to our Altered Blanks for a unique layered look.

TIP* You can rivet varying sized holes as long as you have a washer or a flattened bead cap.

Use a 1/4" rivet for simple layered pieces and a 1/2" for higher stacked layers.

To rivet:
1. Simply punch or drill a 1.6mm hole into your pieces, slide the rivet through both pieces.
2. Cut excess length off the rivet end to about 1/16".
3. Lay your pieces on a hard surface, preferably a rubber block and a steel bench block (available in our tools section), with the nail head facing down and the rivet end slightly protruding.
4. Lightly tap, using a ball peen or chasing hammer, the rivet end so it spreads out slightly over the hole opening. Gradually increase the intensity of the hammer taps until both pieces are secure.

Decorate metal, jewelry, paper goods, chip board, grunge board, wood, leather, acrylic, textiles, foil, canvas and more...
