1/16" Brass Eyelets Short 1/16" eyelets in 3 colors! These solid brass eyelets are so tiny and useful! The long ones are great for shrink plastic, leather or for stacks of paper. The short ones are for paper and cardstock (perfect for card making and doll making). The beauty of these is that they are so tiny! Use them as eyes on funky dolls, or make your shrink plastic and paper dolls articulated at the arms, legs and neck. They can be patinated or soldered. They take a 1/16" hole. Short nickel-plated brass

Better
Eyelet Tool
in 2 sizes!
See the nubby at the end? It goes down into the hole in an eyelet and makes all the difference in the world. No more oddly shaped or split eyelets! Use with your hammer. The Better Eyelet Tool now comes in the good old 1/8" size and in the larger 3/16" size. Both sizes have the nubby and work wonderfully!
The perfect tool for the job! Use this little setter and your hammer to set Long and Short 1/16" Eyelets (works with both aluminum and brass). $8.50 ea.
|
Don't miss our My favorite surface for installing eyelets is a cutting mat. It has a little give so that it doesn't flatten out the eyelet but is strong enough to take the abuse. A copper or brass hammer is the best tool for hammering the Eyelet Tool, but a steel hammer works fine too. |
| Brads | ||
|
|
These
simple-to-use brads come in great colors and have a million uses! Use
them in your wedding invitations, on cards, in artist's books and in
scrapbooking. Simply poke a small hole into your paper or cardstock, poke
the brad through and then bend the legs back. They're great for the
center of a paper clock and can even be used around the office. 100 / $3.75
