Eyelets through ribbon

[Hazzzmomy]

I see lots of cards in the gallery that have a brad through the ribbon...how do you get the hole through the ribbon to do this??? I usually use a hole punch to make the holes for my brads, but it doesn't make a "clean" hole in ribbon...

TIA!

I posted a card earlier today that had eylets through ribbon. I glued the ribbon to the cardstock and then punched a hole through it, added the eylet and voila!!
I did have to clean up the back a bit because it didn't cut totally through on one spot....just took some scissors and snipped it off. I hope that this helps

Oh yeah, I used a hole punch too (when you adhere the ribbon to the cardstock first it makes it sooo much easier to punch through.)

I use the paper piercing tool from my mm tool kit.

To put a brad through ribbon...I place the ribbon on an old mouse pad and pierce the ribbon with a push pin where I want the brad to go through. Take the push pin out and put the brad in the ribbon hole. This is probably clear as mud...but it's pretty simple.

Thanks, everyone! I will give it a try again today!

The Crop-a-dile punches ribbon beautifully!!

I use the clickit - punches holes right on through!

I just used my paper piercing tool and created a hole then put the brad through.

I agree with Allee's post...I use my crop-a-dile...that thing piercing through anything!

Paper piercer is a life saver because they are so sharp and you can see right where you are putting it unlike my hole puncher...I use it for my cards too when I am adding brads to cardstock it just seems to save more time when you can see where its going....best thing to do when using it is to put a mousepad under it!
