Grommet Hell

[kia027]

Ok
I decided to buy some grommet tape to make new curtains for the patio door in the kitchen. They are supposed to be snap on grommets but they dont snap on unless u snapping on to paper and not real fabric.

The grommets are 1 5/8" in size.

Do you think I would be able to find a grommet puncher that size in the local rental store? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

Re: Grommet Hell

You will need a grommet tool and can get it at your local hardware. I've had success using grommets, you just have to be patient.

Issue resolved!

We located some wood holder thingys (I forget the name as I have not had my coffee yet) oh yeah, clamps and were able to clamp the grommets in. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img]
