4 Ways to Install the Common Sense Eyelet:
To install the eyelet portion use a knife to cut small slits in the fabric for the eyelet's teeth and pliers to bend the teeth over the backing plate. Cut the fabric in the center out with scissors or a hot knife. Use the “Common Sense Eyelet Hole Cutter” to punch holes for the center hole and 4 slits for the legs at the same time. Use the “Common Sense Deluxe Hand Punch” to punch the hole and 4 slits with an lever action tool. The “Snapmaster Hand Press” can punch the hole & slits all at once. Then it can press the Common Sense Eyelet into place bending the 4 legs over the back plate. To install the stud flare the snap fastener buttons with snap fastener tool or use a center punch.
