Available across Nairobi and delivered nationwide.

What are Eyelets?

Eyelets are small metal rings used to reinforce holes punched through fabric, leather, or other soft materials.

How they work:

You punch or cut a hole in your material. You insert the eyelet through the hole. You use a setting tool to crimp the eyelet closed. The eyelet now lines and protects the hole.

Why eyelets are important:

Raw holes in fabric can tear and fray over time. The edges of the hole become weak and ragged. The hole can stretch and become larger. The material around the hole can fail completely.

Eyelets solve this problem:

The metal ring takes all the pressure and friction. The fabric or leather is protected from tearing. The hole remains clean and professional. The item lasts much longer.

Types of Eyelet Materials

Foreverbrand offers eyelets in three different materials.

Brass Eyelets:

Brass is a classic choice for eyelets. It has a warm, golden appearance. It resists rust and corrosion naturally. It is strong and durable for most applications. It develops a nice patina over time. Perfect for leather crafts and traditional projects.

Stainless Steel Eyelets:

Stainless steel is the most durable option. It is extremely strong and rigid. It resists rust completely. It maintains its silver appearance. It can handle heavy-duty applications. Perfect for tarpaulins, outdoor covers, and industrial use.

Nickel-Plated Iron Eyelets:

Nickel-plated iron offers value and performance. The iron core provides strength. The nickel plating prevents rust. The silver finish looks clean and professional. It is more affordable than solid brass or stainless steel. Perfect for curtains, clothing, and general craft projects.

Choosing the right material:

Consider where the finished item will be used. Consider exposure to moisture and weather. Consider the look you want to achieve. Consider your budget for the project.

Two Sizes Available – 10mm and 12mm

Foreverbrand offers eyelets in two popular sizes.

10mm Eyelets – KSh 1,500

The smaller option for finer applications. Best for clothing, lightweight fabrics, and smaller projects. Ideal for shoelace holes, drawstring bags, and delicate materials. Works well for crafts where appearance matters.

12mm Eyelets – KSh 2,000

The larger option for heavier applications. Best for curtains, tarpaulins, and heavy fabrics. Ideal for ropes, cords, and lacing to pass through. Perfect for outdoor and industrial projects.

Choosing the right size:

Consider what will pass through the eyelet hole. Consider the thickness of your material. Consider the overall scale of your project. Consider the look you want to achieve.

Perfect for Fabric Reinforcement

Fabric is the most common material for eyelet installation.

Fabric applications:

Reinforcing holes in canvas and heavy cotton. Strengthening edges on fabric banners and signs. Creating durable attachment points on fabric covers. Protecting buttonholes and lace-up points.

Why fabric needs eyelets:

Fabric frays and tears at holes. The threads pull apart under stress. The hole becomes larger and misshapen. The entire piece can be ruined.

An eyelet changes everything:

The metal ring distributes stress evenly. The fabric edges are protected from pulling. The hole stays the same size and shape. The fabric lasts much longer.

Perfect for Leather Crafts

Leather is another excellent material for eyelet installation.

Leather applications:

Belts and belt holes. Bags and purse attachments. Shoe and boot lace holes. Leather bracelets and accessories. Leather journal and book covers. Leather holsters and cases.

Why leather needs eyelets:

Leather can stretch and deform at holes. The hole can become elongated over time. The leather can crack around the hole. The appearance becomes worn and unprofessional.

An eyelet protects your leather work:

The metal ring prevents stretching. The leather stays in its original shape. The appearance remains clean and professional. The item looks finished and intentional.

Perfect for Curtains and Drapes

Curtains are one of the most common household uses for eyelets.

Curtain applications:

Rod pocket curtains with eyelet holes. Pleated curtains with reinforced attachment points. Shower curtains with rust-resistant eyelets. Outdoor curtains for patios and porches. Stage curtains and theater drapes.

Why curtains need eyelets:

Curtain rings and rods create friction at holes. Heavy fabric pulls and stresses the holes. Without reinforcement, the fabric tears. The curtains fall or hang unevenly.

Eyelets solve curtain problems:

The metal ring provides a smooth surface for rods. The fabric does not rub or catch. The curtain slides easily on the rod. The holes never tear or stretch.

For shower curtains, choose rust-resistant materials: Stainless steel or nickel-plated iron work best in wet environments.

Perfect for Tarpaulins and Covers

Tarpaulins and outdoor covers need heavy-duty eyelets.

Tarpaulin applications:

Truck and lorry tarpaulins. Construction site covers. Camping tarps and ground sheets. Boat and equipment covers. Pool and spa covers. Agricultural covers and silage tarps.

Why tarpaulins need eyelets:

Tarpaulins need to be tied down securely. Ropes and bungees attach through the eyelets. The eyelets take all the pulling force. Without eyelets, the tarp tears at tie points.

For tarpaulins, choose stainless steel: The strength and rust resistance are essential. Outdoor exposure demands the best materials.

Perfect for Clothing Repairs

Eyelets can repair and reinforce clothing.

Clothing applications:

Repairing torn belt loops. Reinforcing buttonholes that are failing. Creating new lacing points on corsets or bodices. Adding decorative details to jeans and jackets. Repairing drawstring hoodies and pants.

Why clothing needs eyelets:

Clothing takes constant stress and movement. Buttonholes and attachment points fail first. Repairing with thread alone often fails again. Eyelets provide permanent reinforcement.

For clothing repairs, choose nickel-plated or brass: These materials are comfortable against skin. They look appropriate on clothing.

Perfect for Banner Hanging

Banners and signs need reliable hanging points.

Banner applications:

Outdoor advertising banners. Indoor event signage. Trade show displays. Fabric store signs. Political campaign banners. Festival and fair signage.

Why banners need eyelets:

Banners are pulled by wind and gravity. String and rope strain the attachment points. Without reinforcement, banners tear. The sign falls or becomes damaged.

Eyelets provide secure hanging points:

The reinforced hole holds the string or rope. The banner stays attached in wind. The sign remains in place and readable. Your advertising investment is protected.

For outdoor banners, use stainless steel eyelets.

Perfect for Shoe and Bag Repairs

Footwear and bags take constant abuse.

Shoe and bag applications:

Repairing torn shoelace holes. Reinforcing bag strap attachment points. Adding new lacing points to boots. Creating drawstring holes for bags. Repairing backpack attachment points.

Why shoes and bags need eyelets:

These items carry significant weight. They are used every day in harsh conditions. The original holes often fail first. Reinforcing them extends the life dramatically.

For shoe repairs, choose brass or stainless steel: These materials look appropriate on footwear. They provide the needed strength.

Rust-Resistant for Long Life

All Foreverbrand eyelets are constructed from rust-resistant materials.

Why rust resistance matters:

Eyelets are often exposed to moisture. Sweat from clothing and skin. Rain and humidity outdoors. Moisture in bathrooms and kitchens. Condensation on tarpaulins.

Rust can ruin a project:

Rust stains the surrounding material. Rust weakens the eyelet structure. Rust looks ugly and unprofessional. Rusted eyelets can fail completely.

Our rust-resistant materials prevent this:

Brass resists rust naturally for decades. Stainless steel is virtually rust-proof. Nickel-plated iron resists rust with proper coating. Your projects stay looking good.

Sturdy Construction for Durability

These are not cheap, flimsy eyelets that bend or break.

What sturdy construction means:

The metal is thick enough to hold its shape. The eyelet resists bending under pressure. The edges are smooth and finished. The setting process creates a tight crimp.

Why durability matters:

Eyelets take constant stress and friction. Weak eyelets pull through the material. Thin eyelets bend and deform. Poorly made eyelets rust quickly.

Our eyelets are built to last:

They survive repeated use and washing. They hold up to outdoor weather. They maintain their appearance. Your work looks professional for years.

Easy to Install

Installing eyelets requires basic tools and technique.

Tools you may need:

Eyelet setting tool or press. Hammer or mallet. Hole punch or awl. Cutting mat or block. Measuring tools for spacing.

Basic installation steps:

Mark where you want the eyelet. Punch or cut a hole slightly smaller than the eyelet. Insert the eyelet through the hole from the front. Place the setting tool over the eyelet. Strike firmly with a hammer. Check that the eyelet is secure.

Practice on scrap material first:

Eyelet installation takes a little practice. Test on spare fabric or leather. Adjust your technique as needed. Once you master it, installation is fast and easy.

DIY Craft Projects

Crafters love eyelets for many creative projects.

DIY ideas:

Create custom drawstring bags with reinforced holes. Make your own belts with adjustable eyelets. Design fabric jewelry with eyelet details. Build fabric storage bins with hanging points. Create custom tarps for camping or gardening. Make reusable produce bags with drawstring closures.

Why crafters choose eyelets:

Eyelets look professional and intentional. They add a finished edge to holes. They come in different sizes for different projects. They are affordable for craft budgets.

For craft projects, start with nickel-plated eyelets: They offer the best value. They work for most applications. They look good in finished projects.

Commercial and Industrial Applications

Businesses rely on eyelets for many products.

Commercial uses:

Manufacturing fabric products. Producing leather goods. Making tarpaulins and covers. Creating banners and signage. Building outdoor equipment. Manufacturing bags and luggage.

Why businesses choose quality eyelets:

Reliability matters for commercial products. Customer satisfaction depends on durability. Returns and repairs cost money. Quality materials prevent failures.

For commercial use, choose stainless steel or brass: These materials offer the best performance. They ensure your products last.
