1" Grommets
 
Hello! I have made great drapes and purchased a really nice rod; then it
occurred to me that I need to have 1" grommets. I've checked all of our
local fabric stores and can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know a source
for 1" grommets, along with the appropriate sized punch?

Thanks!

Try a craft shop or an art supply shop.

Grommets for a 1" rod are available here (but are expensive):

Sounds strange but I've seen large grommets at Home Depot in the Tool
Corral area.

Try a place that makes awnings or canvas boat covers. Put 1" grommets
in your search and you will find lots os sources.

I got them in Millets here in the UK, where they keep tent repairing
things! :)

Try your local hardware shop. They stock them for canvas work, shade cloth
etc....Amelia in Australia

Buttonholes might work well. Could you make two or three in a
small piece of similar fabric, and test the look? I've seen bh on
drapes and liked the look. It would certainly be more cost
effective. HTH,

I am pretty sure that Walmart has those grommet kits. You can give
them a call before you go.
