jmozz,
you can buy eyelets from hardware stores, also places that sell sewing stuff like buttons, etc,also probably from a craft store. I use lots of the standard shoe eyelet size, about 1/8th hole. The eyelets I buy come in a bag of a hundred or so and cost under $2.

Yes, you can also get them from craft stores. I use them myself for various craft projects. They are inexpensive and lots come in a bag.
