FAQs
What is the exact diameter of these eyelets?
The inner diameter is 14.0mm (1.4 cm).
What materials are these eyelets made of?
They are made of stainless brass with silver plating.
How many eyelets are included in the pack?
Each pack contains 10 pieces, including matching washers.
Can I apply these eyelets with just a hammer?
For the 14mm size, you need the supplied tool and a hammer. Smaller sizes might also be workable with a hammer and tripod, or VARIO pliers.
Are these eyelets suitable for outdoor use?
As they are made of stainless brass, they offer good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many applications, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather might affect the finish over time.
Do I need to pre-punch a hole in the fabric?
No, the application process with the tool and hammer is designed to create the opening and set the eyelet simultaneously.
Can these eyelets be used on very thick materials like leather?
Yes, they are suitable for thick fabrics and materials like leather, provided the thickness does not exceed the capacity of the eyelet setting tool.
Troubleshooting
Eyelet does not secure properly.
Ensure you are using the correct tool for the 14mm size and applying firm, even pressure with the hammer. Check that the washer is correctly positioned on the back.
Fabric tears during application.
Make sure the fabric is taut and not too thin. Consider reinforcing the fabric area with interfacing before applying the eyelet.
Eyelet looks uneven or crooked.
Ensure the eyelet and washer are aligned precisely before striking with the hammer. Practice on scrap material first.
Silver finish appears dull.
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the plating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: To apply the 14mm eyelets, you will need the supplied tool and a hammer. Place the eyelet through the fabric where desired. Position the washer on the back of the fabric, aligning it with the eyelet. Place the supplied tool onto the eyelet and strike firmly with a hammer to secure the eyelet and washer together. Ensure the eyelet is fixed so it cannot turn, preventing detachment under tension.
Compatibility: These eyelets are compatible with various fabrics, including canvas, denim, leather, and heavy cotton. They are also suitable for thicker paper or cardstock for craft projects. For sizes other than 11mm and 14mm, Prym's VARIO pliers or a hammer and tripod can also be used.
Care: As these eyelets are made of stainless brass with silver plating, they are generally maintenance-free. To clean the surrounding fabric, use standard cleaning methods. Avoid abrasive cleaners directly on the eyelets to preserve the silver finish.
