No Sew Grommet Tape and Grommets.

The grommet tape can be placed on the drapery header with Sealah Tape or you can sew it to the header, I prefer using Sealah Tape because of the stitching lines on the front of the drapery. Once the Grommet Header Tape is in place , use a 18mm Olfa Rotary cutter and cut the fabric from inside each grommet circle on the grommet tape. Turn your drapery over with right side up and snap the plastic grommet into the grommet hole, the grommet tape has a metal ring on the back side and the grommet will just click into place. I have uses a rubber mallet to tap the grommet in place.

They are evenly spaced with approximately 8 grommets per yard. Plastic spacers built into the grommets allow you to form shape retaining folds. This is figured for double fullness.

HOW-TO MEASURE: Just measure your Drapery rod in inches, multiply it by 2, then divide by 36″ to get the yardage you will need. If you like it extra full, you can always increase to 2-1/2, or even 3 x’s for lighter weight fabrics.

Multiply the yardage figure by 8 to figure the amount of Decorative Snap-On Rings you will need. Save any extra rings for future replacements if necessary. Note: It may be necessary to adjust cut width to accommodate spacers. (Allow ending hole on EACH end to go back to the wall.

DECORATIVE RINGS: Snap into the grommets and come in metal finishes and colors. They are interchangeable. Their smooth plastic material does not scratch the paint or finish of your drapery hardware. They are Rust Proof because they are NOT metal, but a light-weight plastic that moves easier, and thus are washable

Indygo Junction offers several purse patterns made with double sided grommets. When using these grommets for purses we suggest that you line the inside of the grommet with 1/8″ Sealah Tape – this prevents the grommets from slipping of the fabric when your purse is loaded down with extra weight. The extra weight in most purses includes everything except the kitchen sink.
