So now, you need to take it over here and put a grommet into it. And what you'll do is you'll lay out the washcloth and take your grommet . You're gonna mark it where you want the hole to go. Just take that half there, take a marker or pen, whatever is convenient and then mark your spot. Then, you're gonna take your scissors, and you're gonna cut a little hole into the washcloth. You can take half of your grommet and lay it down, and then you're gonna place it inside the hole. You can see half of your grommet there, and take the other half and just lay it on top and position it where it will go there. Great! Okay, so now you're gonna take your grommet tool, and you're gonna put it over everything and then take your hammer, and with a couple of taps, you're gonna tap it into place, like that! And you got yourself a grommet ! Alright. So, now, we're gonna take some ribbon and string it through the grommet and tie the bow, and it's ready to hang. And these make great hostess gifts or housewarming presents to give to friends.
