Eyeleting, Snaps and Tools

1/16" Eyelets | 1/8" Short Eyelets | 1/8" Extra Long Eyelets | 3/16" Eyelets | Eyelet Setting Tool | Snaps and Rivets

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

Special note: We've had several people order eyelets for very specific applications and then return them because they weren't the right size. If your application requires a really precise measurement please contact me before ordering them. We cannot be responsible for eyelets ordered incorrectly.

Sold by volume: ~150/pkg.

5/32" Long $4.50

2/32" Short $4.00

1/16" Aluminum Eyelets in long and short lengths
These solid aluminum eyelets are so tiny and useful! The long ones are great for shrink plastic or for stacks of heavy papers. The short ones are for paper and cardstock (perfect for card making). The beauty of these is that they are so tiny! Use them as eyes on dolls, or make your shrink plastic and paper dolls articulated at the arms, legs and neck. They take a 1/16" hole.

Extra Long 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 oxidized. Use with our 1/8" Better Eyelet Tool. They take a 1/8" hole.

They are all brass based so they take wonderfully to heating with our Miniature Blow Torch or oxidizing with our Oxidizing Solution.

Special note: We've had several people order eyelets for very specific applications and then return them because they weren't the right size. If your application requires a really precise measurement please contact me before ordering them. We cannot be responsible for eyelets ordered incorrectly.

Short 1/8" Eyelets (~ 75/pkg.)
1/8" eyelets in beautiful colors and packaged in convenient tins with glass lids so that you can easily see the colors. The copper, silver, black and brass match our Extra Long Eyelets. Use with our 1/8" Better Eyelet Tool.
Solid brass so they can be oxidized or soldered. They take a 1/8" hole.

3/16" Eyelets (~75/pkg.)
These larger diameter eyelets are great for larger holes. You can fit a round key ring through one (what a great book binding), and larger fibers can be threaded through them. Use with our 3/16" Better Eyelet Tool.
Solid brass so they can be oxidized or soldered. They take a 3/16" hole. Eyelets are ~.10"/2.6mm under the flange and they are .183"/4.6mm OD.

Special note: We've had several people order eyelets for very specific applications and then return them because they weren't the right size. If your application requires a really precise measurement please contact me before ordering them. We cannot be responsible for eyelets ordered incorrectly.

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


$5.50 each


 

1/16" Eyelet Setting Tool
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).

$6.50 ea.


1/16" Eyelet Setting Tool

Don't miss our e-x-t-r-a l-o-n-g eyelets in copper, black, silver and brass!

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, brass or Poly Hammer is the best tool for hammering the Eyelet Tool.

Snaps and Rivets
Snaps
Want to keep your journal closed? Use these small 4-part snaps. Use the Better Eyelet Tool above and your hammer to set these into your journal. Note, these snaps work best with materials about an 1/8" or thicker. Need instructions for installing snaps? They are here.

Rivets
Use these 2-part rivets for affixing a tab closure to your leather books. Ours have a "double cap" structure meaning that that are beautiful on the inside and the outside of your journal. They are easy to use with your hammer. You will make your color selection in the shopping cart
