- 1). Spread the fabric over a solid surface that will not give while you are working
- 2). Mark the area on which you want to install the grommet by cutting a small "X" shape with a sharp pair of scissors. This will allow the garment some give, so the grommet does not tear it open when attached.
- 3). Set the metal attachment tool for your grommets under the "X". Place the bottom piece of the grommet, which resembles a washer, on the tool. Center the "X" of the fabric over the tool and bottom piece.
- 4). Set the top of the grommet over the "X" and place the long tool in the center; try not to let it move around, so that you can get the grommet centered properly.
- 5). Strike the top of the long tool with your hammer to push the grommet into place. Continue striking until the grommet is secure in place.
