[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Safety eyes

[carcione at access.net]

I bought a bos of safety eyes, but I'm not sure how to put them on my
crochet cardinal.  Each eye has a screw, and I have a big bag of concave
washers.  Do I put the eye screw into the thinner end of the washer?  

I'm sure I put the screw through the stitch before I put the screw through
the washer. 

I also have a pointy tool like an awl, but I'm thinking that's for putting
the eyes into fabric, rather than crochet which already has holes.

Please advise.
