So a while ago I tried to make my own hammock. I don't have a sewing maching so I did it by hand. Didn't turn out to bad. The only problem was I bought eyelets from walmart which are to be hammered into the cloth and put together.
OK so the first problem is that eyelets don't hammer into cloth. I'm a scrapbooker and I use these things all the time on paper, but not cloth. Also they didn't fit in really well so the material would stretch and eventually rip.
I never ended up totally finishing it. SO I ask, how the heck do you attach it in the cage. I finally found those metal shower hooks to hang it. Should I just poke a hole through the cloth and reinforce with thread (like a button hole), or is there something else?
