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.

Then it can press the Common Sense Eyelet into place bending the 4 legs over the back plate. 2 Ways to Install the Common Sense Screw Stud:
