An Eyelet Setter...
...a useful addition to your equipment.
An Eyelet Setter is something to consider if you wish to use this technique a lot.
This is a really useful tool to buy and comes with various price tags. Although the small setter, with the hammer is adequate, it is rather noisy to use, not a good idea if you have a headache... It can damage your work surface if you don't use it carefully. It's wise to shop around if you prefer the more sophisticated models as you are sure to find a bargain somewhere. This one is the "Crop-A-Dile", which came complete with an assortment of eyes. The pink handles need to be squeezed, and it has two different sizes of holes. Full instructions are give with the tool. It has a middle of the road price tag, and most good Craft shops should stock it.
My personal choice is the "Big Bite". This is the best option if you have dexterity problems, as all it needs is a press down of the handle. Much easier to use. Made by the same company, and is the big sister of the "Crop-A-Dile". It is the desk top version and is free standing. It also makes two different sizes of holes. The feet on the bottom stop it sliding around. I keep it on my work surface all the time, so that it is always ready for use. But this is the more expensive to buy. It really is down to personal choice and your budget, but I am sure you won't regret your purchas once you have made it.
