This small fitting turns a hole in the fabric into a passage that lasts for years. It measures Ø 5 mm. The pack holds 40 pieces. Made from brass.
Eyelets bind the edge of a hole so that cords, ribbons and laces can run without fraying the fabric. The work takes two steps: punch the hole, then press the two parts together. Once an eyelet sits firmly, it no longer turns. Punch the hole tightly: too large a hole lets the eyelet wander, a snug one holds it in place.
What Prym Ösen und Scheiben Ø 5 mm Brüniert 542371 is suitable for
- Lace-up closures on bags and pouches
- Drawstrings at hoods and cuffs
- Curtains and home decoration
Frequently asked questions
How are they fitted?
Small sizes go on with a hammer and a base or with punch pliers, larger ones need the enclosed tool plus a hammer. Either way, put a solid base underneath, not a table top.
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.
Which size matches which cord?
The inner diameter decides: the cord should glide through easily but not rattle. When in doubt, measure the cord and pick the next size up.
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.
