1) Can I make cuir bouilli scales out of old belts?

2) I've been wanting to make an armoured -something- out of beer caps that have been flattened and domed slightly roundish for strength. I was thinking of riveting them all overlapping-like to a leather backing. What would I need to rivet metal scales to leather? I'd only be doing a vest or something else very simple, but would it be worth buying the raw leather and making a cuirass-esque thing from it or just mangling an old leather jacket?
