1/16" 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.

The long

eyelets are perfect for going through shrink plastic too!
Any "garage" hammer will work, but my
favorite is our
Brass Mallet. A hammer made from steel is very hard and will
mushroom the top of your eyelet setter very quickly. A brass mallet
is softer, and therefore has more "give." |
Simple eyelet-setting
instructions
Drill a hole in your material
Put
the eyelet through the hole
Turn the material over and place it on a cutting mat or similar
material
Insert the eyelet tool into the back of the eyelet
Pound the tool gently with a hammer until the eyelet flares out
Keep tapping until the eyelet's back looks very similar to its
front
Remove the tool and gently give the eyelet a tap or two with the
hammer to
completely crimp it down over the material

Extra Long 1/8" Eyelets
(~ 100/pkg-sold by volume)
We have ours custom made because we
know that eyelets made for paper won't work on a book. They are just the right length for going through
book board or heavy leather! The ones you usually see just aren't long
enough. Since our eyelets are made with a brass base, they look great
torched or patinated. Use with our
1/8" Better Eyelet Tool. They take a 1/8"
hole (3mm tip on Japanese
Screw Punch).
They
are all brass based so they take wonderfully to heating with our
Miniature
Blow Torch or oxidizing with our
Oxidizing Solution.
$7.00 / ~100
