Required Tools: You will need a leather hole punch, hammer, and pencil.

Steps:

1. Unwrap your nameplate and identify the rivets as having two posts and two caps.
2. Center the plate where you would like it attached to your tack; mark its holes with a pencil.
3. Use the hole punch centered on the pencil marks. A good-quality hole punch with appropriate pressure applied should be able to penetrate even thick leather halters.
4. Push the rivet posts through the back of the tack so the posts are pointed toward you.
5. Place the nameplate on the rivet posts.
6. Place rivet caps onto the posts, and tap the caps with a hammer.
