Love, love, love it! I saw the "eyelet" on the knit happens card yesterday and totally didn't give it another thought as to if it was real. I love the idea that now we can have "eyelets" that match all of the SU colors. TFS! You two are always coming up with brilliant ideas!
we did this at my upline's house about a month ago and used not only the circle punch but the 1/4 inch square punch that matches the alphabits. We found if you punch the 1/8" part first and then go around it with the 1/4" punch it is easier than trying to get the little piece punched.
Cute examples you posted!

oh duh! just reread and saw it was a bit different than yours-the ones we did were adhered over the paper, not on the cs itself. ;)
Ahhh, so you mean they were just faux eyelets placed on the cardstock.... not for the purpose of actually having a hole? That's cool though, gonna have to do that too! Yeah, I can't imagine holding a 1/4" and trying to punch it! LOL!

yup-they were like decorative accents-not real holes.
Love the new method you showed as well-very clever!

Those are NEAT! It reminds me of the little gizmo that used to be on small manila envelopes [we used them for the bank or for Sunday School]. There was one little circle on the envelope flap and one on the envelope itself, with a string attached that you would wind round and round. Is there anyone else out there as OLD as I am who remembers those?
Way cool, Emily! I've done the 1/2" punch with the 2-hole punch to make faux buttons, but never thought about trying to do faux eyelets! Good thinkin'!!!
Actually, our envelopes at church are just like that :-)

Okay this wasn�t making sense to me until after I read what Britta wrote on her second post. I couldn�t figure out why you would punch the big hole first and try to hold it in a punch. Thanks Britta for helping to clear my head! So your mistake was a plus for me, DUH on my part too. Great idea girls, you�re so clever and since I don�t pound eyelets this look will work great for me! I�ve done the same procedure with frames for a cut out using the Coluzzle or circle cutter but this never crossed my mind. Thanks!
How simple...I've made my own reinforcers....now why couldn't I stretch my mind...well maybe shrink it to think of this! Thanks for shrinking yours...it's a great idea!!!

This is a great idea too! I'll do this instead of buying them today, I saw this post just in time. Thanks for the idea!

I tried this today and it's SUPER COOL!!! I don't think that I'll ever buy colored eyelets again, not when I can make one that perfectly matches the cardstock I'm using!!! I might have to break down and keep buying eyelets in metal colors but that's it
Has anyone tried putting the CE on them yet?
P.S. - Here's the card I made today using "faux eyelets"
Faux Eyelets!
