Brass eyelets with washers that bind a punched edge cleanly and do not corrode. Made in the size Ø 5 mm. Supplied as 40 pieces. Produced from brass.
Punch the hole tightly: too large a hole lets the eyelet wander, a snug one holds it in place. For belts, bag handles and labels they are the small piece of hardware that makes a homemade item look finished. Thin cloth needs a reinforcement underneath, or the eyelet will pull through the fabric over time. These notions fit any sewing drawer and come to hand quickly.
What Prym Ösen und Scheiben Ø 5 mm Alteisenfarbig 542412 is suitable for
- Drawstrings at hoods and cuffs
- Craft work with paper and leather
- Labels and tags
Frequently asked questions
Which fabrics do they suit?
Firm wovens, leather, felt and tarpaulin hold on their own. Thin or stretchy cloth needs an interfacing underneath so the eyelet cannot migrate through. A strip of webbing or leather inside spreads the pull as well.
Do they rust?
The parts are brass and therefore rust-free. Even after several washes the surface stays as it was, as long as no scouring agent touches it.
Can an eyelet be removed again?
Hardly ever cleanly, because its rim is folded over. So test on a scrap before starting on the good piece. At worst, cut the piece of fabric out and set a patch beneath.
How many does a drawstring bag need?
A simple bag with a drawstring needs only a few at the corners. A full-height lacing is counted in pairs, kept at even intervals.
