This is a no-sew, easy DIY that only requires a few materials and supplies. Let's get started!

Plastic curtain grommets that snap into place

For our project we used plastic curtain grommets that snap into place. These grommets are suitable for sheer to drapery weight fabrics and can be installed without an installation tool. Traditional metal grommets also work well in curtains, but do require the use of some installation tools. In this video, Eric demonstrates how to install the curtain grommets to make a shower curtain. The steps are the same for window curtains or drapes for your home or boat.
