The Result

I have an addictive personality. Whether it’s food, clothing, or magazines, whenever I find or rediscover something I like I will buy/eat/do it over and over again, like The Great Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwich Addiction of November ‘09 where I had about two per day. My addictive personality touches all parts of my life including my Do-it-yourself projects. So yes, I have done another grommet DIY! If you look back (waaaay back to three weeks ago) I have already done a DIY with grommets but I have had way too many ideas whirling around in my brain on how to play with grommets that I just had to do another one (and maybe more, again, my brain whirls). In any case, I hope you like my newest DIY!

What You Need

• A Tshirt: I used an XL so I can wear it as a dress (3 for $10)
• Grommets and Grommet Kit: They come in various sizes and you can find them at a fabric store from $5 – $12 depending on size and amount
• Hammer
• Scissors

How-To

1. Turn your shirt inside out. When you hammer grommets, the bad/ugly side faces you so by turning the shirt inside out the good side of the grommets will face out.
2. Decide on the placement of your grommets. Mark with a pen or whatever you have handy (that’s washable!)
3. Make small holes with scissors or a hole punch if your kit came with it
4. Depending on if your kit came with an “anvil” tool place that under the shirt and then the grommet with the “horn” or the long tube
5. Place these two parts under the pre-made hole and pull the tube part of the horn through the hole.
6. Place the other side of the grommet over-top fitting around the horn
7. Use the Tool onto the horn and use a hammer to fuse the two ends of the grommets together. Make sure you’re on a sturdy flat surface to hammer on.
8. Voila! Continue until you finish your desired design.

Total Cost of DIY: $10
