A decorative eyelet comprising:
- a head member 12 having a decorative top surface 14 and bottom surface 16;
- a hollow, thin-walled substantially cylindrical shank 18 having a base 19 adjacent said bottom surface 16;
- said shank 18 extending downwardly from and perpendicular to said bottom surface 16 and having a bottom opening at the outer end 24 thereof;
- and a plurality of longitudinally extending slits 20 which open into and extend upwardly from the bottom opening at the outer end 24 thereof of said shank 18 toward said head member bottom surface 16;
