Designer Tips:

Cut the patterned sheet into two 1x1.25" triangles and file the edges smooth.
Mark eyelet locations with a Sharpie® marking pen (#83-101). Using the piercing side of the riveting tool, punch holes in the marked locations.
Set the eyelets using the rivet piercing/setting tool and flaring set. For more information on using this riveting system, check out this instructional video.
