FAQs
What material are these mushroom feet caps made of?
They are crafted from high-quality alloy with a nickel-plated silver surface.
What is the size of the mushroom cap and back rivet?
Each mushroom cap measures 12mm in width, and the back rivet has a 7mm dome and a 2mm stem.
Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the rust-resistant nickel plating makes them suitable for long-term use, but like any metal finish, prolonged extreme exposure to moisture could eventually impact the appearance.
What tools are needed to install these rivets?
Installation typically requires a 2-part die set for a green machine or a 12mm bag feet mushroom rivet hand punch tool.
How many sets are included in a pack?
Each pack includes 25 sets of mushroom foot caps with matching base rivets.
Can these be used on items other than handbags?
Yes, they are versatile and can be used on purses, backpacks, shoes, belts, jackets, and various DIY leathercraft projects.
Do these rivets help bags stand upright?
Yes, they function as bag feet, providing stability and helping bags stand upright while also protecting the base from scuffing.
Troubleshooting
Rivet not securing properly
Ensure the correct die set or hand punch tool is being used for the 12mm cap and 7mm rivet. Check that the stem of the rivet is fully seated in the base and that sufficient pressure is applied during installation.
Mushroom cap is loose
Re-apply pressure with the installation tool. If the material is too thin or soft, consider reinforcing the area with a thicker backing or an additional washer if feasible.
Rivet appears to be tarnishing
While rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture or certain chemicals can affect the finish. Clean gently with a soft cloth and store the item in a dry place.
Difficulty aligning cap and rivet
Ensure the material is positioned flat and stable before starting the installation process. The stem of the rivet should pass cleanly through the pre-punched hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To install the Neel Blue mushroom feet caps, you will need a compatible installation tool. This typically involves a 2-part die set designed for a green machine or a specific 12mm bag feet mushroom rivet hand punch tool. Place the mushroom cap on one side and the matching base rivet on the other, aligning them with the material. Use the tool to press the rivet firmly, securing the cap to the base and attaching it to your project.
Compatibility: These rivets are designed for use with leather, thick fabrics, and other sturdy materials commonly found in handbags, purses, backpacks, belts, and DIY crafts. They are suitable for projects where a protective base or decorative stud is desired.
Care: As these rivets are crafted from high-quality alloy with nickel plating, they are inherently rust-resistant. To maintain their polished appearance, wipe them clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating. For long-term storage of projects, ensure they are kept in a dry environment to maximize the longevity of the finish.
