[TranquilaManana]

i have some bits of fabric i want to make into a bunch of keyrings (for household keys)

so i want hole punch size holes in one corner or top...and they need to have those little metal hole surround thingies.

the little metal thingies are the bit im after - any ideas where and what theyre called? and can i order a bunch online anywahere?[lazy]

They are called eyelets and you can get them from any craft shop, or ebay.

eyelets!

of course.

ta VVV

I think you need a special punch to put them on though.

You can get those devices in haberdashers and sewing supply shops- you just bash them with a hammer, having placed the eyelet in the right place. I have one, I'll just go and dig it out to find out what it's called.

muchas gracias peeps,
i haver just purchased an eyelet pliers thingy and 100 eyelets from ebay for the princely sum of 2pound something.
