How Do You Spell EYELET?

1. An eyelet is a small round metal or plastic ring, typically with a hole in the center, used for fastening or reinforcing fabric, often found in garments or accessories. It is commonly applied to create a decorative or functional opening, through which cord, ribbon, string, or lace can be laced or threaded. Eyelets are typically inserted into pre-punched holes in the material, then secured by flaring or crimping the edges to keep them in place.

   These metal rings can be made from various materials such as brass, stainless steel, or aluminum, while plastic eyelets are often composed of nylon or ABS. They come in different sizes and styles, ranging from delicate and decorative to rugged and utilitarian, catering to various applications and aesthetics. Eyelets can provide additional strength and prevent fraying in areas that may be subjected to tension or repeated use, making them popular in clothing items like shoes, boots, corsets, or belts.

   Apart from their practical function, eyelets are also commonly used as decorative elements in crafts, scrapbooking, or card making. They add an eye-catching detail to projects and can even be used to join two or more materials together. This versatility makes eyelets a popular and essential element in textile and handicraft industries, providing both practical and aesthetic purposes.

2. A small hole or perforation to receive a lace or cord, also to admit light.
