How to set grommets tutorial

Published:

Description

Firstly let me say this is not the difinitive guide on how to set grommets, it's just the way I have found that works.

It applies to ';Prym' eyelets though the same method can be followed for other types of grommet that come with similar setting tools. The ';Prym' kit comes with dies that can be fitted into the small plastic piece that come with the kit or into a specialist pliers style setting tool. Vena Cava Designs UK sells this tool.

The hole punch is useful for leather and plastics though I prefer to use this method when setting eyelets into fabric. The 6.5mm knitting needle is the size I use for grommets with a 5mm hole.

Feel free to use this turorial, but please credit me, if you want a copy please send me a note. I hope it's useful.

Oh and sorry about the grubby fingernails - they're stained with soot from daily cleaning of the fire grate! Roll on summer...

Thank you for this! The instructions that came with my eyelet setter was just a pack of lies!
