How to set a rivet with Prym Vario pliers?

The Maison Fauve denim buttons are riveted. In this video tutorial, I will explain how to install them without any problems using the Prym Vario pliers and installation tools.

The rivet on our buttons is not the same diameter as the Prym brand buttons, so you will have to proceed as follows:

Make a small pre-hole on your fabric at the button mark using a seam ripper, for example (be careful not to cut too much into your fabric)
Place the setting tools (the white cups) on your pliers
Place the button in the setting tool: it will clip and stay in place
Insert your rivet by hand into the small hole you made in your fabric, let the tip of the nail stick out
Position the pliers opposite the rivet, and gently start to press, checking that the tip of the nail is directly opposite the cup at the back of your button.
Pinch firmly
Well done, your button is installed, unclip it from the tool, and move on to the next one ;)
