Installing Grommets!!
6.15.17
This is (more than anything) a reference for myself, but I figured I’d share it as open knowledge as well. I’ve had this laptop case for my Surface since I got it, but I’d been wanting to be able to just sling it over my shoulder and have my hands free too, so I stopped using it in favor for a backpack.
But, just so recently I went through a JoAnn Fabrics, and saw an entire little kit, so I decided to just try it out and document how I installed them!
So, Supplies needed are:
-your item to be grommeted (in my case, a felt laptop case)
grommets & grommet kit (hammer also needed but not shown)
sharp scissors
binder rings
upcycled strap (from an old purse)
Now, I didn’t document myself actually hammering in the grommet, because I needed two hands for that and didn’t have a way to set my phone up, but I did scan in the instructions for how to set up everything and hammer it in here!
After I finished hammering in each grommet, I attatched a binder clip to each side, and clipped my strap to the bag. Viola! I am now hands free!
My Surface still fits perfectly inside it too!
I’m glad I finally finished this project! It’s been on my to-do list for so long, and I finally banged it out today! P: I also used this kit to install some grommets in a pillow for my skin care chair, which I also need to document! Planning on doing much posts like this too, as well as the projects I’m working on in general, so stick around! 😉
