This small fitting turns a hole in the fabric into a passage that lasts for years. It measures Ø 11 mm. The pack holds 55 pieces. Made from brass, polypropylene.
Eyelets bind the edge of a hole so that cords, ribbons and laces can run without fraying the fabric. Punch the hole tightly: too large a hole lets the eyelet wander, a snug one holds it in place. The work takes two steps: punch the hole, then press the two parts together. Once an eyelet sits firmly, it no longer turns.
What Prym Ösen mit Scheiben, bunt, in Herzbox, 11 mm 542621 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.
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.
How far from the edge do they go?
Enough fabric must remain so nothing tears out: roughly one eyelet width from the edge, and on soft cloth rather more than less. With several eyelets a drawn line keeps the row straight.
