You will need: - A pair of curtains - Grommet tape - Grommets - A grommet tool - A hammer - A screwdriver - A ruler or measuring tape - A pencil 2.

Measure and mark the curtains.

Determine where you want the grommets to be placed. Measure and mark the points on the curtains, spacing them evenly apart. 3.

Attach the grommet tape.

Cut a piece of grommet tape to the length of the curtain. Center the tape on the wrong side of the curtain and pin it in place. Stitch the tape to the curtain along the edges. 4.

Insert the grommets.

Place a grommet over each mark on the curtain. Use the grommet tool to insert the grommets into the grommet tape. Make sure the grommets are facing the right way. 5.

Hammer the grommets in place.

Use the hammer to pound the grommets into place. Make sure they are securely fastened. 6.

Screw on the grommet caps.

The grommet caps will hold the grommets in place and give the curtains a finished look. Screw the caps onto the grommets until they are tight. 7.

Hang the curtains.

Insert the grommets through a curtain rod and hang the curtains. The grommets will allow the curtains to slide easily on the rod.

Tips:

* Use a grommet tool that is designed for the size of grommets you are using. * Make sure the grommets are evenly spaced apart. * Hammer the grommets in place firmly, but be careful not to over-tighten them. * Screw on the grommet caps until they are tight, but don't over-tighten them or you could damage the caps. * If you are using a heavy curtain fabric, you may want to use two rows of grommets for added support. * Grommets can be used on a variety of curtain fabrics, including cotton, linen, silk, and velvet.
