This might seem rather silly and trivial .... but how on earth do I make/use eyelets ...

You really need an eyelet kit but you could improvise a little!

Find something to punch a hole in your card with that is the same size as the eyelet hole. Push the eyelet through and turn the card over.

Use a biro pen and pop the point inside the eyelet hole and then with a hammer tap sharply a few times until the eyelet has splayed out on the back of the card. The hammer directly on back of eyelet a few times to smooth it down.

The eyelet kit is a much better idea though

Thanks .... Got the kit today

Done my FIRST eyelet ...

OOO eyelets - not tried those either Only just got some cute little brads - have to put them on my 'things to try' list !!

Oh dear CrystalTips, if you're susceptible to the sites you've got p[roblems on here love....

Go back a few subjects in the Arts and Crafts topics and you'll see what I mean!

I've already been to ELC and bought a load of stuff there.
DD was rummaging through the bags and I said "those are for me" ....

Her response ..... "It's good to share"

thanks for that website - loads of stuff on it i have NO IDEA about... but hey, im sure ill learn!

BRADS.... details please!

EYELETS.... details please!

Like the split pins we used to use as kids with the bendy back legs for securing, only these are posher now. Eyelets are lijke the metal things on belt button holes iykwim? You should have a set to fix them, really, look on the galleries at my card bubbles for an example
