Add Grommets

Measure 1 1/2 inches from the outside edge of header strip. Use sharp scissors to cut small hole (Image 1). Insert large eyelet and use a kit and a hammer to attach both halves of the grommet (Images 2 and 3). Repeat on other side and four inches to the left and right of center for a total of four grommets. Proudly display your completed bunting by hanging it along a porch rail, banister or under a window.
