Pop rivets look like nails with a little sheath/tube over one end. A pop-riveter is a simple little device (sort of like a staple gun in reverse). Drill a small (correct size) hole through both strips, then stick the sheath-end of the pop rivet in there. You stick the other/skinny end into your pop-rivet gun, squeeze, and the gun pulls the nail up through the sheath (compacting it), and breaks the nail off with a "pop". Voila - instant rivets.
You know those small wood "nubs" they sometimes put over screw holes? Something like that would be cool to simulate rivets where the strips intersect...
