Thank you for watching my tutorial video, where I show you how to attach eyelets to a garment using Prym vario pliers. It’s a really nice simple and quick method for attaching eyelets!

Thanks for a very clear video. Very helpful 👍

Thanks for the video, I don't have the same domed attachment, 😢, I also just watched the video on the Prym website and show how you can create a small hole with the attachments too. Also what the red thing is for. It's to remove the attachments, 😂I never knew! Great video!

[@madebycathcraft]

Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial. How do you remove the metal pushers (! not sure what the terminology is) out of the pliers. Just to be clear I don't me the eyelets and washers. Once the metal things (!) are in I can't get them out.

[@madebycathcraft]

I generally just pull very hard to get them out but one of the sets I got did come with a little plastic tool you can use to push them out from the underside, so that might be an option too

[@ChristineSewsALot]

I think where I have gone wrong is making my hole too big. My eyelets have always come out. Will have to give it another try

[@madebycathcraft]

Yes I think the holes need to be as small as they can be, only just big enough to squeeze the eyelet through. Hope you have better luck now

[@tatagraner]

Hi! My eyelets are always too lose, is that because my fabric is too thin or because I’m not using any interface? Thanks for your help!

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi sorry I missed this comment. I have found my eyelets to attach fine and securely to thinner fabrics like cotton jersey, I do always interface the fabric before applying the eyelets so that might well help to stabilise and stop the eyelets feeling loose 😊

[@debranormansell9930]

Hi Cath, can you tell me what size eyelets you are using as I’ve just ordered some that are huge 😮

[@madebycathcraft]

Hi there, I order the Prym 5mm eyelets

[@debranormansell9930]
