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. Specifications:
