Description
Double Cap Rivets 9mm x 6mm Matte Black
These Matte Black Double Cap Rivets are a versatile way to secure, reinforce or decorate bag making projects. They feature a 9mm cap diameter and 6mm post length, with a rounded cap on both sides.
Understanding Rivet Size
- 9mm – visible cap diameter
- 6mm – post length
The cap diameter determines the setting die size, while the post length needs to suit the total thickness of the materials being joined.
Use a 9mm Double Cap Rivet Die Set with the KAM DK93 Hand Press.
Choosing the Right Post Length
The post needs enough length to pass through all project layers and connect with the second cap. A post that is too short may not connect correctly, while an excessively long post can be harder to set neatly. Always test on an offcut using the same materials and layers first.
Perfect for Bag Making Projects
- Crossbody and shoulder straps
- 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. The hole should suit the rivet post rather than the 9mm cap diameter. Test your hole and rivet combination on an offcut first.
How to Set Double Cap Rivets
Helpful Tip from Chris
For straps, handles and hardware attachment points, make sure the surrounding area is suitably reinforced so the rivet is supported by the structure of the project. Test the same material layers, hole size and post length before setting your finished project.
