How to Secure Grommets on Costumes

Video Transcript

Hi Shelly Cordsen here with Expert Village and we're working on our Sheppard's costume for toddlers out of a bath towel. We have marked our grommet positions ,twenty inches from the bottom and five inches in, and that's on the front and we've done the same thing on the back. Twenty inches up and five inches in. And now to do the grommets we're going to have to punch a whole with our scissors were I have my pins. And in order to get the grommet through we need to cut some of this fabric away. So don't be to afraid ,you don't want to cut to much of it away or you'll be having to use bigger grommets. So I just kind of got to get some of this snap away from here ,kind of were you can see your finger poke through there. There we go. Now on our grommets we have, you have a post that's high and a post that's low. We want to stick the high one in from underneath, well frame the top because that's the, you want to do it from your front because that's going to be your nice looking part. So then we flip it over and we want to push all of this extra fabric away so you can see everything in there. And if you can't then just go ahead and cut some more of the strings away. Ok, put it on a hard edge surface ,this works so much better if you want to take it outside do it on a cement floor ,put a wood block underneath here. Your going to take your smaller piece, your , the one were the height is smaller and your going to stick that on there. Wiggle it around until it catches , your going to take your grommet tool and take the round end of it ,see if you see that. Put that over that and then give it some a couple of good whacks. And then that will bend over and catch in there and then you've created a hull. And you need to do that for all four sides.
