Silver Creek Leather Co. - Realeather Eyelet Setter Kit
Reinforce holes in leather, paper, and rubber with 60 eyelets and tools
Reinforcing holes in leather without proper hardware leads to tears and fraying, especially under stress from lacing or hanging. This eyelet setter kit solves that problem with straightforward mechanical reliability. The steel setter and anvil work together to compress 3/16-inch eyelets cleanly into place, creating permanent reinforcement that distributes tension around the opening. You get 60 assorted eyelets with the kit, enough to complete multiple projects while experimenting with placement and design.
The process is direct: punch your hole, position the eyelet, and set it with controlled hammer strikes. Steel construction handles repeated impact without deforming, maintaining consistent setting pressure across dozens of installations. While designed for leather, these eyelets also reinforce paper for scrapbooking or heavy cardstock projects, and work with rubber applications where you need durable grommeted openings. Leatherworkers appreciate having dedicated tools that perform one task reliably rather than struggling with improvised alternatives. The kit provides everything needed to start reinforcing holes properly, from belts and bags to journal covers and mixed media assemblages.
