Removing Rogue Rivets - An OKSew Quick Fix

In this quick fix video I will demonstrate my preferred technique for removing rivets with minimal damage. The rivet removal flowchart can be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1YvRf...
The mini pliers I am using in this video are these ones (also available on Amazon but more expensive): www.homedepot.com/p/Crescent-...

Thank you. I got your suggested small pliers and just got 4 rivets out of a bag that I wanted to make changes too. Worked like a charm and no damage to fabric.
