Whether you're wiring the back of a canvas frame, adding hanging loops to handmade dolls, or connecting craft hoops and decorative items, these small iron eye hooks cover the size range where most craft and framing hardware falls short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pack contains \u003cstrong\u003e20 pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e of iron screw-in eye hooks (closed loop) in your chosen length.

All sizes share the same closed-loop (eye) head design, allowing wire, cord, or elastic to be threaded through and secured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical applications include screwing a pair of 15mm or 22mm eye hooks into the back rails of a picture frame and threading picture hanging wire between them for a clean, wall-ready hanger; using 8mm or 10mm hooks as screw eye pins in doll-making and soft toy construction for articulated limb joints or display hanging loops; and installing small eye hooks as attachment points on craft hoops, decorative wooden signs, ornament hangers, and small framed artwork for lightweight display hanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔩\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e These hooks are designed for installation into \u003cstrong\u003ewood, MDF, balsa, and soft craft materials\u003c\/strong\u003e.
