How to Install Grommets & the Tools Needed

Grommet Sizing:

The "size" (4mm, 5mm, etc) represents the diameter of the hole.  You will want to select a hole size that is larger than the item you plan to place through that hole.  5mm and 7mm are our most popular sizes.

  Also Recommended:

  • Something to cut a hole through your fabric for grommet placement:
    • Hole punching dies.  If your material has no stretch, use hole punch dies in the same size as your grommets.  If your material is stretchy, use a smaller hole punch size since the hole will get stretched out.

 

Optional: Leave a note in the Order Notes box at checkout requesting that your order be reviewed for completeness.  We'll contact you if anything appears to be missing or if your tools aren't compatible with your fasteners.

 

* KAMsnaps® presses, dies, and fasteners are made to work together and may not be compatible with other brands.
