You can use a ruler or just eyeball them and mark where you want your holes using a pencil or an awl or something like and punch a hole with hole punching pliers two millimeter which is the smallest setting if your material is very soft or stretchy and 2.5 millimeter if you're material is thick or stiff. Then put a rivet post through the hole from the back, put your glue-in component over the top of the post set the cap on top of that and squeeze them together set that onto a bench block and set the four millimeter rivet setter onto the top and whack it a few times with the hammer until that rivet is set then use some GS Hypo cement or other jewelry adhesive, whatever your preference is around the inside edge and the top of the rivet inside the component and set your flatback crystal into it and allow it to dry and that's it there are other videos available in the beadaholique.com library to show you how to set the Z hooks and also more information about riveting.
