However, you must first make small holes with a punch pliers at the marked positions in the box containing your folder. Only then can you easily push the rivet through. Please make sure that you attach the beautiful counterpart of the rivet, the semicircular head, to the outside of the folder.
  2. Then insert the counterpart of the rivet - the one with the recess from the inside. Now you can fasten the rivet, ideally with the help of a center punch. Place the center punch on the rivet from above and carefully tap it into place with a hammer. Be sure to place the folder on a soft surface so as not to scratch the rivet when hitting it.
  3. Once you have attached the first rivet, do the same on the other side.
