Also I bought the wrong size pattern!!!! 
I bought the larger sizes and and I had to use the smallest of the larger sizes. It didn't fit as well as it should have. Guess I'll pay attention to what I'm buying next time! 
I don’t remember what they are actually called. I went to the leather section of the craft store and bought some eyelets because the ones in that section were a bit sturdier than the ones in the fabric section. I still ended up using both kinds. At the end of the day the eyelets from the leather section of the craft store held up while the flimsy ones I got in the fabric section started falling out. I put the eyelets in the night before Halloween. My hands hurt from punching 86 of those things into the fabric.
