Push the long end of the rivet through the two holes and attach to the shorter end. Position on a work surface and hammer to fasten top to bottom. Do this on all four corners and you will end up with a square or rectangular catch-all when complete. I use my small sizes for rings and trinkets. Bundle two together, tie with ribbon and add a few heartfelt mementos to give as a sweet little gift.
