when the grommet is being placed in something bulky – like the top of a canvas tote bag with interfacing for support – ??How do you cut the hole out before placing the grommet?? that is a lot of thicknesses to cut thru and a tiny little space – any hints??

Thanks! But any tips when the grommet doesn’t seem to work?? I made a shower curtain for my dorm room, but even using these same steps, and many good whacks, nothing happened!

I have been looking for a tent pattern for my 3 year old. This is simply!
Thank you.

I used a very similar technique to make a tent for our small balcony/deck, which gets intense direct sun. I screwed hooks into the eaves overhanging the deck, and used a fabric dropcloth. When we want to sit outside, I hook the grommets through the hooks, and then attached fabric ties that I loosely tie around the deck railing to anchor the other side. An easy, breezy summer shade! Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks for the reminder that I need to pick up all the stuff to do grommets. They are so useful for so many things…

Oh, thanks for putting the spotlight on grommets! I have avoided them, but I think it’s time to venture into the grommet world!
