How to Add Eyelets & Snaps to Home Made Money Holder Gift Cards

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and on behalf of Expert Village, I am here on our 11th clip of series of creating a money holder. In this clip we will talk about eyelets, some snaps and the tools we will use in adding them to the card. So what I want to show is your very basic eyelet kit. It is a setting board, a hole punch, eyelet setter and a hammer. Now if these are what you have, great! This is a great place to start. With these you would just put your paper down like so, hold the hole punch there, click it with the hammer and it could create a hole. You know what? We'll just do it like that. It's a little out. Then what you would do is put is you would put your eyelet in here, turn it over and then you would take your eyelet setter, place it, it's got a little divoted edge here, and what you will do is place that in the center of the eyelet; and then this is going to be loud again, oops! You won't miss. You will hit it straight on probably twice and then the third time to flatten it out, and that will set y our eyelet. I have found a better tool which I like so much better. It's an All-In-One and this is a making memory set. Again, there are very many sets out there by different companies, and with this one, I take out my setter and I would use it as so and then there are different size hole punches. The great thing about this set is I can do the 3/16 inch eyelet, 1/8th inch, whatever size I have or the teeny tiny ones; I believe they are 16th inch ones. You don't see those very often, but you do have or if you are going to set brads or something, this is a great universal tool. So we would just sat in there. I am going to stand for this one because it takes a little more pressure, and what we will do is set it straight down, and I am just going to push down until I hear a click and its put the hole in there for me. I can then take an eyelet. We'll use an orange one; set it in the hole and turn it over. Going to change my head so put the eyelet setter in; this tool here, just stick it in. Again, going to put that straight on the eyelet, push down and it’s set it. I'm going to do one more time because I didn't push very hard. You can see that it is set as well. What I like about this tool, it keeps everything together. I can do all of the different sized eyelets so I can have any eyelet I want. Before I had this, I only had the basic 1/8th inch size so it made it hard. It also got costly if I wanted to get additional pieces. Where if you get the All-In-One universal set, you have everything together, it is very cost effective and it is great and simple to use. "
