backside with an adhesive material. The eyelet measures approximately 1 3/4
inches long and approximately 1 1/2 inches wide. The self stick picture eyelet
has a 1/2 inch fold at the bottom that has been stitched and holds a small metal
strip. The eyelet is centered in the fold of woven fabric and the metal strip.
The applicable subheading for the self stick picture eyelet will be
