I bet you want some eyelets. Am I right? Okay, so maybe this is an easy bet to make, considering eyelets are fun and functional. If I’m right and you want to add a bunch of colorful new eyelets to your scrapping stash, then I’m happy to say you’re in luck. We’re giving away an eyelet assortment pack from Eyelets Etc. right here on this blog.
If you caught my “Tips & Tricks” column in the August issue of Creating Keepsakes, you know that I shared an easy organization solution for eyelets, using bitty boxes and grommets. Well, the colorful eyelets we used in that magazine project are looking for a home, and it could very well be yours.
Here’s how to enter:
Leave me a comment, stating your favorite thing to do with eyelets between now and Sunday, July 19. From the comments received, we’ll randomly select a lucky winner. The winning name will be posted on the “Giveaways” tab (at the top of this blog) on Monday, July 20, so please check back to see if you’re a winner.
Eyelet forward to reading your ideas soon! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the opportunity for a silly pun.)
Cheers!

I like to use multi colors eyelets to finish a page.
I like to use eyelets, but to be honest I like brads more! ( can I win those instead? LOL)

I use eyelets for oh so many things…they are a nice embellishment that doesn’t add too much bulk, they are great for attaching translucent/transparent papers that adhesive would show through, etc. My all time favorite use was a card shaped like a tennis shoe and I put laces through the eyelets…so fun!

Your pun was funny! Good one!
I love to add eyelets in unexpected places for dimension. Example: when using patterned paper with circles, add one or several in the center of the circles. Use in place of eyes for dragonflies or bugs. String them into jewelry. Purposely use the back side of the eyelet for stars or what looks like fireworks. Fun!

OMG! What don’t I use eyelets for…I use them to attach things to my pages, making pockets, attaching vellum, creating little bugs, flowers, etc., making mini albums, centers of flowers, adding bling and just for reinforcement. I have every color, I think, and am always adding new shapes…you can never have enough shapes!! I would love to win and add some more to my collection.

I use eyelets for many things…making points (instead of the somewhat boring polka dot) in my journaling, adding vellum and other tricky products to my pages, on the center of flowers, as the dots in my ” i ‘s “, around a special person’s name, to accent ribbons, on title strips, there are so many uses. In my greeting cards to accentuate important areas. I really enjoy using them, they add something special to each page, without going over board!
There are several shape/themed ones that I use regularily too to add pizzazz to my layouts. With three boys to scrabpook for and a sweet hubby too, I’m always looking for new ways to use them to make their pages stand out and be unique!

I love to use eyelets to attach paper flowers to my art. I also have been making art dolls and use them to attach the arms and legs.

I use them on photos to get a 3-D effect. For example, on a close up picture of a person with a button up shirt – I’ll put a button over the shirt buttons. As ornaments on a Christmas tree. To put tags on Christmas/B-day gifts. To put a flower in a girl’s hair. To put a bug in a nature scene.

I use eyelets in tags. Making flowers on a 12X12 page layout. I sometimes even use them on paper flowers

Loved your ideas in the Augus issue. I love to use eyelets as supports for pulls for hidden journaling tags and also for bulleted lists on layouts. Thanks for the contest!

I mainly use eyelets to string ribbon through. With 2 little girls ribbon is used frequently on their pages.

My favorite thing that I have used eyelets for is to create a lace effect up the side of my layout….simply place the eyelets in two vertical lines and then lace with ribbon.
