Eye pliers are tools that can be used easily to attach the eyelets to certain materials. This article will show you how to use chicken eye pliers.
Step
Step 1. Make a hole in the material where you will attach the eyelets
This hole should be large enough to fit the eyelets. If the hole is too big, the eyelets will come off.
Step 2. Use a base under the fabric for a neat cut
You can use a hard leather cloth (see next photo), an acrylic block such as a cutting board, plastic tile, or even folded paper as a base. Make sure everything is in place when you make the hole!
Step 3. To make holes, always place the base on the "ugly" part of the fabric
Firmly press the pliers or use a hammer to push the pliers.
Step 4. Push in the eyelets through the holes you have made
Do this from the "good" part of your material so that the flat part of the eyelet is on the good side of the fabric.
Step 5. Thread the thread under the flat part of the eye so that it is not visible
Step 6. Align the eyelet pliers
The flat (good) side of the eyelet should be where the pliers are curved, while the claw section should be parallel to the protruding part of the pliers.
Step 7. Press the pliers together
Step 8. Remove the pliers and check if the eyelets are installed to your liking
If the eyelets still rotate, repeat the previous step using greater pressure to squeeze the material tightly.
