How to use Eyelet Pliers

Here's a quick video on using eyelet pliers. These work with the smaller eyelets by forcing the grommet through the fabric and curling it back on itself on the other side. Very quick and easy to use!

Hi thanks for this cyber - but did I miss something - did you put one on the back, or do we take it as gratis we just push one on the other side -Thanks marcJboy

Hi there - sorry for my delayed response! This particular type does not have a backing. The tool curls the eyelet back on itself to form the back side. There are some that have backing pieces, and in those cases the two sides "grab" onto each other when you use the tool to compress them together. I hope this helps clarify things for you!

No you have to use pliers made for attaching grommets.

I havent been able to find eyelet pliers in my town not in walmart or hobby lobby or any other craft store. I have been able to find snap pliers however- are they the same thing? Or could I use it as a substitute? I tried the hammer one and out of about 10 time only one worked and then it was all dented and ugly. Obviously I need the pliers...

Excellent, been meaning to buy some of these but didn't know how they worked.
