Description
Double Cap Rivets 8mm x 6mm Matte Black
These Matte Black Double Cap Rivets feature an 8mm cap diameter and 6mm post length for securing, reinforcing or decorating bag making projects.
Understanding Rivet Size
- 8mm – visible cap diameter
- 6mm – post length
The cap diameter determines the setting die; the post length needs to suit the total material thickness. Use an 8mm Double Cap Rivet Die Set with the KAM DK93 Hand Press.
Choosing the Right Post Length
The post must pass through all layers and connect with the second cap. Too short may not connect; excessive length can be harder to set neatly. Test on an offcut first.
Perfect for Bag Making Projects
- Crossbody, shoulder and wristlet straps
- Bag handles
- Strap tabs and connectors
- D ring and swivel clip tabs
- Pockets, wallets and small accessories
- Decorative rivet details
Preparing the Rivet Hole
For most bag making materials, a 2mm hole is the perfect size to start with. Size the hole to the rivet post rather than the 8mm cap and test on an offcut first.
How to Set Double Cap Rivets
Helpful Tip from Chris
Reinforce straps, handles and hardware attachment points so the rivet is supported by the structure of the project. Test the same layers, hole size and post length before setting your finished project.
