Eyelets

I am planning to make my own menus and programs and I was thinking of putting eyelets on the menu to put ribbon through to tie a bow... Can anyone tell me what they run price wise and also how to do it? I am totally clueless!!

Re: Eyelets

If you just want to run a ribbon thru paper, you dont necessarily need an eyelet but it doesn make it look more 'finished'

Do a searc in Google for eyelets and many different site will come up. Since you are properly looking for a large number of one color, a scapbook supply store (locally) wouldnt have enough for your needs. You can try this place Eyelets they have tons of different ones

the way you set eyelets is with an eyelet setter. You punch a hole in the paper, put the eyelet in,,,with the finished side to the front. turn that paper over, place the eyelet setter in the back of the eyelet and hit the setter with a hammer about 5-6 times until the back is flattened out. thats how you set them.
