One of the easiest cold connection techniques to learn is riveting.  There are all sorts of wonderful jewelry making rivets on the market which makes the task so much easier!  Then you can use the basic leather bracelet riveting techniques for your own awesome designs.  Jamie Hogsett of Antelope Beads' video tutorial covers the absolute basics using easy hexagonal screw-in rivets and Tierracast's rivets.


The critical points to remember is the size of the holes you need to punch for the rivets as well as the depth of what you wish to rivet together - the more layers, the longer the rivets you need.
