Place a slot punch on the belt. The first two holes should be placed 1/4 inch from the belt end, and eachhole should be 1/4 inch from the belt's edges.

Step 3:

Insert the buckle prong through the punched slot so that the buckle is correctly positioned. Fold the uncutbelt end back so that the rivet holes are lined up, and insert the rivets from the underside of the belt.
