You can usually pick up a basic pop rivoter at any hardware store, I work at a Home Hardware and bought mine there for about $20 canadian I think.
If you have a Harbor Freight store near you you can usually get tools like a pop rivet gun very cheap!!
Just checked their website. Some listed at $4.99.

Or you could barrow mine and I think I still have some rivets too!! I used a while back when I did my TK armor.
Thanks for all the info.
I just went ahead and bought one from Lowes $24 with some rivets but I kept the receipt. So I might take you up on that offer Rob.
or, you could just hold the rivet in a vice, put the materials on the rivet and hit it with a hammer. thats what im useing for my mandalorian helmet
home depot should have them cheap
