Quick installation of eyelets: choose the tools for yourself

Application area

In fact, according to the method of operation, eyelets are the edging of the hole, embedded in the material. The ring prevents stretching of the fabric at the cut site and the occurrence of mechanical damage when guides - cables, ropes, cords - are passed through it.

Main areas of application:

• in the production and installation of outdoor advertising banners;
• for canvas awnings in structures for various purposes;
• in tourism - in the production of tents, covering awnings;
• in the automotive industry in the manufacture of car awnings;
• in light industry - in clothing, shoes, bags, backpacks, various leather goods accessories;
• for the implementation of various design solutions in the interiors of premises - in curtains, drapes, curtains.

Method of fastening the awning using eyelets

Round

Oval

Eyelets with swivel brackets

used in structures that require quick assembly. Convenient if you need to frequently open and close the awning. It is enough to turn the bracket 90 degrees and the awning is firmly closed. This fittings are more expensive compared to other types.

Full description of eyelets

There comes a time in every person’s life when he has a choice - pay a higher price in the store for a completely finished product or save 30-50 percent of the cost, but finish the thing yourself. And often the choice falls on the second option, because it involves less spending - it is often assumed that the home master who has taken up the task himself has the simplest things to work with, and there is no need to buy anything in addition to complete the task of “finishing the purchase of a house” .

Initially, eyelets appeared in shipbuilding, where there was a need to reliably strengthen the sail.

Installation method and features

Important! When punching a hole for a grommet, you should take into account the type of fabric being punched. For elastic, stretchable material, a notch is made 2-3 mm less than the diameter of the block. For rigid, non-stretchable material, the diameters of the hole and the block must match.

Important! Before punching the fabric, it is recommended to fold it in half or place a thick lining. This will ensure a more secure attachment of the eyelet to the fabric and prevent the appearance of split edges.

Important! The tool type and grommet type are indicated using capital English letters. Therefore, when choosing a tool of suitable size, you should pay attention to the markings.

Description and types of eyelets: metal, for leather

Eyelets - what are they? These are metal fittings in the form of rings for fabric. The element itself consists of a block and a ring.

This type of fastening was invented back in the mid-20th century, and was originally intended for securing sails on ships. However, over time, metal fittings began to be widely used in sewing women's clothing, shoes, and bags.

Grommets occupy a special place in the field of interior design, namely when decorating windows with products with a diameter of 40 mm made in Taiwan.

Curtains with eyelets can be matched to any interior style

What are eyelets and why are they needed?

Eyelets are one of those things that you can make at home with your own hands, so as not to overpay in the store for fabric with fastenings already attached. What are eyelets themselves? These are accessories, whose main manufacturer is Taiwan, which is used for products made of various fabrics - from thin to dense, even for things made of leather, you can use eyelets.

Fabric is not the only material in which you can make some kind of holes.

This fastening option was invented specifically for threading laces, ropes, or even pipes through it (if we are talking about curtains with grommets hanging on a cornice). Eyelets are sometimes confused with a block - also ring-shaped fittings. The grommet consists of two parts - a sleeve and a washer, which instead form a metal ring that fits over a hole in the fabric.

Often eyelets are used solely as decoration.

It is believed that the grommet is the most convenient type of fastening - it is often used on shoes and curtains, since from the latter it creates a smooth canvas that hangs beautifully on the window. Well, almost everyone knows and loves lace-up shoes, in the design of which these same eyelets occupy a significant place.

What are the varieties?

At the stage of planning the design of windows, you need to understand and understand what grommets are and what types they come in. The metal fittings themselves can come in different shapes and sizes. Bushings are distinguished based on the following parameters:

Size. The diameter of the rings starts from 4-5 mm, they are called “Piccolo Rings”, they are widely used in printing. The maximum diameter is 8 cm. Small ones are used to create clothes, shoes and bags. Large ones are used for advertising banners. For curtains, rings with a diameter of no more than 7 cm are usually chosen.

The thickness of the fabric on which the product can be installed depends on the height of the grommet side

Regardless of the shape of the curtain eyelet, the hole in it is always round

These eyelets go well with the chrome-plated cornice pipe

The color of the rings should be in harmony with the color and texture of the cornice

Please note that the choice of product shape, color and texture is determined by the color scheme, type and purpose of the selected curtains. The style of interior design of the room also matters, for example office and eyelets for the home are two different things.

One way or another, the fittings should be in harmony with the color of the curtains or walls in the room. Depending on the original design solution, the sleeves can either match the color and style of the selected fabric as closely as possible, or, on the contrary, successfully contrast with them.

Eyelet sizes

The size of the eyelets is another criterion when choosing fasteners in the store. What does it depend on? The most important point that influences what size eyelet is ultimately worth buying is, without a doubt, the density and thickness of the fabric, since the heavier the future curtain, the larger the diameter of the eyelets should be (it ranges from 15 to 50 millimeters).

The minimum thickness of the material for each fitting is determined experimentally - from 10 to 80% of the length of the leg.

The second important point is the thickness of the rope or pipe that is threaded through the eyelet rings. The fasteners should slide easily along the cord or rod of the curtain rod, and therefore it is worth choosing a larger diameter.

The grommet is easy to use, so any type of work can be done quickly and without complications.

It is also believed that the larger the diameter of the eyelets, the more beautiful the curtains on the cornice look - large rings look more aesthetically pleasing than small ones, and therefore it is better to give preference to them. True, installing large eyelets is a little more difficult than small ones - it is impossible to cover the entire ring with a hammer and you have to carefully make the connection in parts.

Advantages

Among other methods of attaching curtain fabric to a cornice, the use of metal rings is considered the most reliable, despite the fact that individual elements can be purchased at retail. The eyelet decorates the curtains. You can see what it is in the photo.

Any type of fabric is suitable for fastening to eyelets

• the curtain glides silently and seamlessly along the cornice;
• the curtain is protected from sagging and mechanical damage;
• you can form aesthetic, even, decorative folds on curtains;
• the curtain can be quickly removed and hung again;
• Washing curtain fabric does not create problems.

An absolute advantage is the quick installation of products, including at home.

Curtains on rings are easy to move and do not snag

How to choose the right diameter

To select the correct eyelet diameter, you need to refer to the base, which will be threaded through the fastening rings. The thicker the lace or pipe (for example, a curtain rod) on which the fabric will be attached, the larger the diameter of the eyelet should be in order to easily slide along the base, not get stuck anywhere along the way and create a beautiful, even curtain fabric that will look great and refresh any room, giving it a special charm and cozy atmosphere.

The same distance is left between each eyelet - for curtains it can be 17 cm.

The diameter of the eyelets varies in the range from one and a half to fifty millimeters and it is often quite difficult to choose the most suitable option, because, although everyone understands that larger rings look more beautiful than small ones, too large eyelets on a thin cornice will create an unpleasant effect of “a lonely pencil in glass” - as if fasteners of this size are out of place here and it would be worth replacing them with a smaller option.

The minimum acceptable distance to the edge of the curtain is between 5 and 7 centimeters.

Eyelets for “soft windows”

Soft windows are curtains made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) number 1; they act as windows on summer terraces and verandas, and, in fact, are an alternative to conventional windows. The fittings for such windows should be beautiful and allow the structure to be securely fastened.

“Soft” PVC windows are ideal for protecting the summer veranda space from wind and rain

The following types of fasteners were invented for canvas windows:

• eyelets with prym fastening brackets;
• belts – clamps, rectangular in shape;
• magnetic clasps;
• rollers for collecting the canvas into a roll;
• metal guide blocks, rotary brackets.

The advantage of installing self-tapping fasteners on soft windows in the upper part of the curtain is that, if necessary, the curtain is rolled up and secured with straps.

Features of a rectangular eyelet with a fastening belt

A separate name is “rectangular eyelet with a fastening belt” - what is it and how to use it? Basically, this is the grommet that attaches the curtain to the frame. To do this, you need to put the grommet on a special bracket and secure this entire structure with a PVC strap. What is a staple? In itself, the bracket is a piece of fittings that helps secure the curtains to the frame, since an oval-shaped grommet is put on this very bracket.

The strap with a buckle is installed at the edge of the curtain and serves to hold the curtain folded.

The bracket can be rotary, which means that the “ear” of the bracket can change its position. There are also stationary brackets, whose position in space cannot be changed in any way. In general, swivel brackets with a fastening belt are much more popular. Why is it worth buying such a strap for eyelets? The reason is quite simple - the belt provides a more reliable connection between the curtain and the frame, as it firmly fastens the bracket and the grommet on which the curtain hangs.

It is used for attaching the awning to various surfaces by “self-fastening”.

Grommet tape

This tape consists of a hot-melt adhesive material 2-3 cm wider than the diameter of the rings. The braid can be of different textures - for light curtains they came up with a special transparent tape.

Eyelet tape is a strip of dense material. Serves to strengthen the top edge of the curtain before installing the eyelets, maybe with an adhesive layer

Important! Adhesive tape is an optional element. Before purchasing a strip, make sure that the design idea is impossible without this very strip. Sometimes compaction with additional pads spoils the appearance.

In what cases is it used:

• The textured strip is used to seal the fabric at the top of the curtain. This is especially true when creating grabs at home.
• It is easier to apply appliqués and decorative elements to curtains lined with thermo-adhesive tape.
• Especially often such strips are used to give neatness to the edges of “Roman curtains”.

You cannot do without grommet tape if the fabric is very thin

How to apply tape yourself

First, let's figure out what types of braid are found on the market.

1. Single layer. There is a strip of glue applied to one side of the curtain. Under the influence of an iron, the adhesive mass melts and sticks to the fabric.
2. Two-layer. They are fixed much more reliably than the first ones due to the fact that the adhesive mass is applied to both sides of the tape. To protect the iron, the iron-on side of the adhesive strip is protected with a special heat-resistant mesh.

Folds with eyelet tape look smoother and neater

The width of the tape is selected based on the diameter of the eyelet, which should be 2 cm smaller

In order to glue one-sided tape to the curtains, follow this algorithm:

At the top of the curtain, measure two widths of tape. Fold the fabric so that the two wrong sides touch each other. Then iron.

The curtain will have an ironed stripe like this

The fold should completely cover the tape

How to install it yourself

If desired, the products can be installed independently. To do this, punch a hole in the fabric.

Next, an insert is inserted into the hole from the wrong side of the fabric, and a washer is inserted from the front side, after which the grommet structure is secured (just press on the washer, then the sleeve until it clicks lightly). If double-sided curtains are selected, the sides of the grommet and washer do not matter.

For home curtains, it is convenient to use plastic eyelets, the halves of which are connected by simple snapping and do not require special tools for installation

To ensure trouble-free movement of the curtains along the cornice, when choosing fittings, experts advise giving preference to products whose internal diameter is 1.5 cm larger than the diameter of the cornice rod.

In addition to prepared, well-ironed curtains and the fittings themselves, you will need:

• tape measure;
• needle, thread;
• punch for creating holes;
• scissors;
• pencil for marking fabric.

Formula for calculating the number of holes

Before you begin, you should determine the curtain model and the required number of bushings.

Expert opinion

Calculating holes is one example that proves that school mathematics lessons can be useful for solving everyday problems. So, to calculate the number of bushings for curtains (x), there is a special formula:

x = (a - 2c): 18 + 1, where:

• a – width of the curtain;
• c – the distance from the edge of the curtain to the center of the rings located at the edge of the canvas.

With an even number of eyelets, the edges of the curtain will be directed in one direction, with an odd number, in different directions.

If the calculations result in an odd number, it is rounded up to an even number. Having decided on the required amount of fittings, you can begin to work.

How to determine distance

The distance between the holes in the fabric largely depends on its type and quality. Most often it ranges from 15 to 22 cm.

Layout of eyelets on the curtain

When installing side rings, a different rule applies. They should not be located at the very edge of the curtain, but at the same time they will look bad at a considerable distance from it. Therefore, a step of 2-6 cm will be optimal.

Algorithm of actions

1. Apply markings to the canvas, marking with a pencil where the holes will be punched.

Calculate the required number of holes

We trace the contours of the internal holes of the eyelets

Carefully cut out the fabric with sharp scissors

Then all that remains is to fasten the curtains to the cornice and correctly form the folds on the curtains.

How to choose tools for installing grommets

Hello my dear. Today I wanted to talk a little about grommets and the tools needed when working with them. I often receive letters like this. “Tell me the difference between eyelets and blocks.” “Which instrument is better to choose?” “Which is better, tongs or cores?” “How to figure out what is needed?” and so on. Let's immediately agree to consider this topic in the context of clothing for dolls and bears. Since the use of eyelets is very diverse: from clothing and shoes, to the manufacture of curtains, bags, in scarfbooking, etc. But this, as they say: “A completely different story.”

This article does not pretend to be a complete coverage of all kinds of tools for working with eyelets (of which there are a lot on the market now), it just provides a starting point for those who have long been thinking about using eyelets in their work on dolls and bears, but not knows how to approach this topic. So: “What is the difference between eyelets and blocks?” Grommets , unlike blocks, have a ring that is placed on the back of the product and covers the back of the grommet. It looks much neater and of course more reliable. Eyelets are usually placed on clothes.

Eyelets.

Blocks are the same eyelets, but without a ring. The advantages of blocks are the variety of colors and shapes. They are used not only for processing shoe holes, but also in scarbooking. Nothing prevents us from using them in doll clothes.

Blocks.

Both eyelets and blocks come in different sizes: from tiny 1.5 - 2 mm to 6-7 mm. There are eyelets of very large sizes, which are used, as I said above, when sewing curtains, for example. For sewing clothes and shoes for dolls, eyelets and blocks from 1.5 mm to 5 mm are used. It all depends on the size of your creations. The smaller the toy, the smaller the eyelets.

Now to the tools: To install a grommet or block, we will first need to make a hole, then insert the block and install the grommet. Accordingly, you need two tools: a hammer drill and an installer. To make a hole you need a hammer drill or simply a hole punch . There are different types of hammer drills. Pay attention to the description, if it says that it is for scrapbooking, then such a hole punch will not be suitable for our needs. It is good for paper and cardboard. A puncher that is suitable for puppeteers is one that works with fabric and leather. Perforators can be different: forceps or impact type. The tongs are very convenient. They are versatile and make holes of different sizes. You turn the wheel and select the diameter you need for the occasion. Quite quiet. Suitable for fabric and leather. Here is an example of such forceps:

Perforator-tongs.

Impact type hammer drills . They also often have several attachments for making holes of different diameters; they are cheaper than tongs. But there are also disadvantages. To work with them you need a hammer, i.e. they are noisier and require skill to operate.

Impact type hammer drill.

Which hammer drill will be convenient for you - decide for yourself) Now about the installers. There are also 2 types of them. Forceps and core. Unfortunately, among the installers there are no universal ones ((And this is the main sad thing. For different diameters of eyelets or blocks, different installers are needed. That is, if you have an installer for 4 mm, then for example, you will not be able to install a 3 or 2 mm eyelet for them. Pliers . Very convenient, they install eyelets and blocks automatically, very neatly. I love them very much. Quiet. They install both eyelets and blocks.

Installer-tongs.

And cores. Working with them requires skill. To place blocks with their help, you need to practice. Of course, you will also need a hammer)) Unlike tongs, they are noisy. But budget ones) For mini blocks of 1.5-2 mm, at the moment there are only cores) The core is inserted into the block, tapped on it with a hammer, and it tears the metal in place of its metal ribs and bends it. Only installs blocks.

Core installer.

Very good people are trying to combine a hammer drill and an installer. We are happy))

For example, this tool makes holes and installs 4 mm eyelets. The tool is reliable and convenient.

Perhaps these are all the main tools suitable for working with eyelets in our doll-bear theme. I hope this post will help someone choose a convenient tool for themselves. Have a nice day and new creative ideas!

Eyelets for curtains: from selection to quantity calculation

Since ancient times, curtains on the windows of the house have been an integral part of the interior. Previously, strong threads or fishing line were used as pendants.

The curtains were an ordinary piece of fabric. Today, curtain rods of any shape are installed for windows, and the material is attached to them in various ways.

The most common eyelets are used to fasten curtains.

What it is?

Curtain eyelets are products that are additional elements to curtains. The name came to us from Europe, where these interior items originated from.

They are rings with different sections and are available in any shape. They can be square, triangular, in the shape of flowers or animals.

Expert opinion

Mikhailova Maria Vasilievna

Furniture store manager. Knows everything about comfort and interior design

They have the most varied range of colors. They usually imitate a variety of materials.

For example, you can often find eyelets that imitate leather, wood and other similar materials.

Depending on the interior, you can choose any model and style of product. Round rings are the most popular. Their shade usually matches the color of curtains or furniture. In order for the curtains to move comfortably along the crossbar, it is necessary to choose models with a cross-section 1.5 cm larger than that of the cornice.

Installing grommets offers some advantages, which include the following indicators:

• low noise level when moving along the curtain rod;
• obtaining graceful and symmetrical shapes on the curtain;
• avoiding sagging and abrasion of curtain material;
• additional beauty in the interior of the room;
• Possibility of washing without removing fasteners.

The disadvantages of using this approach include the following inconveniences:

• it is impossible to make a multi-layer curtain, since only one rod is used;
• It is necessary to use only fabric that gives minimal shrinkage after washing.

Types of eyelets

Eyelets come in quite a variety: the most important difference, of course, is in the shape of the fasteners. Round and oval eyelets are undoubtedly considered classics, but now, succumbing to fashion, manufacturers are beginning to experiment with shapes - square, rectangular, triangular, even in the shape of flowers - today you can find absolutely any options that will be functional, but at the same time look very original .

A grommet is most often a plastic or metal rim that is attached to a hole in a particular material.

It was also previously believed that eyelets could only be metallic in color; a little later black, white and gold shades were added. Now you can find everything your heart desires - pastel, bright, with various decorations such as patterns and rhinestones (the latter is most popular in children's shoe stores; not a single princess shoe is complete without pink eyelets in the shape of flowers, decorated with rhinestones).

Eyelets can extend the life of the material, hide imperfections and facilitate its connection to another surface.

By fastening

Grommets also differ in their fastening: some are designed to be fastened with rope, tape or cords and can be soft, while others are only used with hard objects, such as a curtain rod, and must be hard.

Eyelets can be either metal or plastic.

It's also important to clarify that there are differences in how metal rings are attached to fabric: there are options that require the use of a hammer, others can be glued, and others can be sewn to the fabric if they are soft enough. All these options provide a fairly reliable connection between the grommet and the fabric, and therefore it is not particularly possible to single out the most popular option among them.

The main material from which this fittings are made is steel.

By materials (plastic, metal)

Basically, eyelets are made from two materials - plastic and metal; usually the products consist entirely of one material, but sometimes manufacturers mix them. The most reliable, of course, is the metal option: stronger and more durable, this material beats plastic in all respects.

The most practical option is parts coated with zinc, copper or nickel plating.

If we talk about curtains, then it is better to choose metal eyelets, since they will definitely be able to hold any, even the heaviest fabric, will not break under its weight and will create a beautiful, even curtain from the curtain, which will be a good addition to any room. For shoes, on the other hand, plastic eyelets are mainly used because they are lighter and there is no need to keep the fabric suspended on the shoe so that it does not fall, stretch, or lose its shape.

The eyelets have a beautiful color, do not deform during use and do not spoil the surface into which they are inserted.

When choosing eyelets, you need to clearly understand for what purpose they are needed: for canvas fabric, from which a camping tent will later be made, it is better to take the strongest metal fasteners that are available in the store; for curtains - thinner, but still made of metal so that the curtains stay on the ledge and don’t fall, and for thin fabric, if you suddenly have to sew some clothes or something like that, you can get by with plastic eyelets, their strength will be sufficient in this case.

Awnings and tents are equipped with eyelets for more convenient and long-term use.

Types and materials

Today, several types of curtain rings are available.

• With small rings. This category of eyelets is installed on the cornice using special hooks.
• With big rings. Such product options greatly simplify the process of attaching curtains. They are installed on the curtain rod.

The material used to make curtain eyelets is usually wood, metal or plastic. Most often, heavy and dense fabrics are chosen for windows, so the eyelets should be made in the form of metal rings - they can withstand heavy material and give an aesthetic appearance to the curtains. For lighter curtains and tulles, you can choose plastic eyelets.

They have a low price and excellent resistance to corrosion compared to metal options. In the case of tulle, metal eyelets are not suitable, since metal can damage the delicate material.

To create an interior in ethnic or country style, wooden models are an excellent solution. The environmentally friendly material will appeal to people who value such quality in a product.

The material from which the cornice is made also plays an important role, since it is threaded into the rings. Curtain rods made of wood, metal and plastic are also used here.

Rings have a variety of shapes. Thanks to modern technologies, products of square, triangular and other geometric shapes are produced.

Eyelets and their varieties

Important! Often similar products - blocks - are called eyelets. You need to pay attention to this when choosing and purchasing awning accessories. Externally they are very similar, but differ in the absence of a washer. The blocks are attached to the canvas by flaring the sleeve itself.

Important! The greater the difference between the outer and inner diameters of the eyelet, the wider its edge and the more reliable the fixation on the canvas.

Strength. Depends on the material from which the fittings are made. There are plastic and metal varieties on the market. Metal ones are more reliable and do not require special devices for installation. They are most often made of steel with a zinc, copper or nickel coating. This treatment promotes smoother sliding of the guides through the hole, reduces friction, and also creates anti-corrosion protection. Plastic varieties are used for thin materials, for curtains, and in printing.

Modification. The most common are round or oval products. There are eyelets with teeth and screws. Also on sale are decorative models in the form of a cloud, sun, flower, and star.

Color spectrum. Metal – silver, gold, dark nickel. Decorative, plastic ones can be of any color.

Important! Products coated with paint or enamel are used more for decorative purposes - they are afraid of scratches that occur during use.

How to calculate the distance between eyelets?

To calculate the distance between the eyelets, you need to know the parameters of the curtains, as well as the cross-section of the eyelets themselves. The cross-section of the ring is taken as the value of the internal diameter, not the external one, since these two figures will differ significantly.

After calculating these values, you can proceed directly to calculating the frequency of product placement.

• In order to calculate the number of rings, you need to multiply the width of the curtain by 6.
• The remaining side material should be 6 cm (3 cm on both sides).
• Calculation of the remaining footage from the starting to the final hole. It is calculated as follows: the value of the residual material on the side is subtracted from the width of the curtain.
• Calculation of the footage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located. Formula: the internal section of the ring is multiplied by the number of fittings.
• Calculate the total distance at the center of the holes. Formula: from the value of the remaining footage from the start to the final hole, the footage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located is subtracted.
• Calculation of the gap in the center of the holes. Calculation formula: one is subtracted from the number of eyelets.
• Calculation of the distance between eyelets. Formula: the value of the yardage on the fabric in the places where the holes will be located must be divided by the number of intervals between units. The resulting value is considered the distance between the eyelets.

How to install it yourself?

To properly install rings on curtains, you must perform the following steps:

• do simple calculations yourself;
• buy curtains;
• purchase rings and, if necessary, grommet tape;
• prepare a workplace - any flat horizontal surface.

After the calculations, it is necessary to prepare the curtains.

• wet the material and leave it to dry a little;
• make a lining if necessary;
• process the seams.

After such procedures, you can insert rings into the curtains.

This should be done as follows:

• make a mark of the middle of the fastening using the calculated values;
• install the grommet and draw the internal section;
• using a sharp object, it is necessary to prepare a hole, which should be slightly larger than the drawn section;
• place a grommet on both sides of the curtain;
• Press down the fastener until it clicks.

On the other hand, fastening is carried out in a similar way. After this, the midpoints of all other fastenings should be noted using the calculated values. It is necessary to check that the rings are located at the same level from the material.

How to install eyelets on fabric

To install eyelets on fabric you need to do the following:

1. Strengthen the attachment point
2. Attach the grommet ring and press it onto the fabric
3. Cut holes according to the resulting stencil
4. Place the layers of fabric together, pin them together and insert a ring from the outside
5. Install the second half of the grommet from the wrong side
6. Tap the grommet with a hammer

For installation, you may also need pliers with a punch or a press in order to simultaneously make a hole in the material and insert the grommet.

To do your own fastening, it is enough to have a ruler, a hammer and some kind of stabbing device, for example, a hole punch, on hand.

Installing a grommet yourself at home is a completely solvable task if you have not only all the necessary tools at hand, but also instructions that must be strictly followed.

Everyone can independently calculate and make grommet tape for curtains right at home.

How to remove curtains?

Curtains hung from the curtain rod do not wear out over a long period of time - they just need to be washed periodically and hung back. In order to remove curtains with eyelets, you must first remove the curtain rod and remove the fixing elements from both edges. After this, the curtains can be washed or replaced with new ones if necessary.
