Instructions:

1. Measure and mark seven dots evenly spaced on the back of the leather cuff.
2. Use a leather hole-punch to make the holes.
3. Press the back of the rivet up through the back side of the bracelet and place the embellishment and rivet cap on top. Place the bracelet on top of an anvil or bench block, hold the rivet setter in place on top of the rivet, and strike it with a hammer. Repeat this step to attach all of the embellishments.
4. Place a small mound of glue inside each ss34 rivetable embellishment and then use a Crystal Katana to press a crystal into place on top of the glue. Let the glue dry.

Tip: Don't stress out about getting your rivets placed exactly perfectly on the cuff. No one will be looking at your bracelet in its entirety when it's on your wrist, so it won't be noticeable if each hole isn't perfectly centered on the strap. Relax and impress them with your sparkle!
