Dritz 1/4" Large Eyelets & Tools is a 144-set kit of brass eyelets with hand tools, designed to add reinforced holes and decorative lacing to fabrics, leather, paper, and more.

Whether you’re finishing a jacket, reinforcing belt holes, or embellishing a scrapbook, these brass eyelets give a clean, durable aperture with a polished look.

How do these eyelets improve garments and accessories?

Brass eyelets provide a sturdy finished opening that resists fraying and tearing, making them ideal where strings, laces, or buckles will pass through. The metal also adds a decorative metallic accent that complements many fabrics and leather types.

• Reinforces holes on belts, jackets, or vests to prevent wear
• Makes neat laced closures for corsets, drawstrings, or hood cords
• Brass finish resists corrosion and coordinates with hardware

Can I use these on paper and craft projects?

Yes — the eyelets work well on heavy paper, cardstock, and mixed-media boards to create decorative or functional openings. They’re a quick way to add a professional, metallic detail to scrapbooks, handmade cards, journals, and tags.

• Secures layers of paper without tearing or fraying
• Adds metallic detail for a polished craft finish

What tools come with the kit and how do I apply an eyelet?

The set includes simple hand tools to punch and set the eyelets; no power tools are required. Application involves punching a hole, inserting the eyelet, and using the setter to flare the flange so it seats firmly against the material.

• Hand punch or awl for hole preparation
• Setting tool to crimp the eyelet flange securely
• Step-by-step placement yields consistent results across materials
