What are hooks and eyes?

Hooks and eyes are a type of fastener that consist of two metal pieces: a hook and an eye. The hook is a curved piece of metal with a pointed end, while the eye is a flat piece of metal with a hole in the center.

To use hooks and eyes, the pointed end of the hook is inserted into the hole in the eye. The hook will then catch on the edge of the hole and hold the two pieces of material together.

Hooks and eyes are often used in clothing and other items of apparel. They can also be used in household items, such as curtains and draperies.
