To install an eyelet using a kit and tools like those shown in the provided reference, you can follow a simple hammering process. This method involves placing the eyelet parts onto the fabric and using a specific tool to set them securely with a hammer.
Steps for Installing an Eyelet
Based on the technique demonstrated in the video reference, the process for setting an eyelet involves these key actions after the fabric and eyelet parts are ready:
- Position the Eyelet: Ensure the two parts of the eyelet are correctly placed on the fabric where you want the opening.
- Align the Tool: Use the designated tool from your eyelet kit and place it over the top of the eyelet assembly, ensuring it holds everything in place.
- Hammer to Set: With the tool positioned and holding the eyelet securely, use a hammer to strike the top of the tool. Apply firm, even hammer blows.
- Check the Result: After hammering, remove the tool. The eyelet should now be "nice and set into the fabric," creating a finished opening.
This process results in the eyelet being firmly crimped onto the fabric, as indicated by the final result shown in the reference.
This method is demonstrated in the video reference titled "How to insert eyelets into fabric using a kit from Amazon! - YouTube", specifically around the 0:50 mark, showing the use of a tool and hammer to set the eyelet.
