This video shows how to install a grommet. With the proper tools, anyone can do this. Very simple, and extremely useful. Whether you're making a golf towel, a BBQ hand towel, or adding to a tarp, this is extremely EZ. Have fun making your own!@
I don't want to add the grommet. In fact I'm throwing away my tools. I want to play the banjo.
I approve your decision! Let all of God's children throw away their tools and play banjos together!
Hahahaha 👍
🪕 🤣😂🤣

Turn our grommets into ploughshares and sing a song into the Lord!
Love this! Quick and easy. No excessive jibber-jabber, just straight and to the point. Love the music, too! 🎶😁
Perfect video. No stupid talking, no pointless input from the poster. Just a simple, straight to the point video. Thank you. This is what was needed.
Thank you for taking the time to comment!
But how do I install the grommet whilst playing the banjo?
This can be accomplish by adding a "kick me" sign to your back. Give it a try! Thanks for the question!
Real hillybillys can do anything while playing the banjo - just takes a bt of practise. Yeahaah!
you didn't see his feet during the whole video?
@@Tony07UK And real hillbillys can't spell :)
@@RichardSneed okay but this is prime
Short, clear and to the point...as every tutorial video on UA-cam should be. Thank you sir!
You're welcome! So glad you liked it!
yes I stopped at a young lady who was showing on a hand bag and didn't think she would ever shut up. Dang by the time I got done I knew how to make the bag too lol. I hate it when they shampoo rinse & repeat over and over and over. Don't they know we can rewind?
Phil Crockett You are the best kind of youtuber: don’t hit the 10 min mark, don’t beg for a subscription, and just genuinely want to help you with stuff.
3/30/23: You wrote the words I was thinking.
I've really learned something from this video. Even grommetting can be fun when there's banjo music.
I do love the banjo. Just wish I could play it
Short & sweet, right to the point, no boring/annoying narration, loved the close-up production (I needed this because I couldn't figure out which side-down to place the washer) and EXCELLENT background music! Winning instructional video - thank you! Subscribed! And looking forward to seeing what other videos you have available.
Liz, you just made my day! Thank you for the nice comment, and thank you for SUBBING!
“I remember grommets were my grandmother’s favorite art and craft and here’s a 5 minute story no one cares about how I learned about grommets…”
This was so great! I had sooooo many questions about this and you cleared it up so quickly without me needing to ask any questions! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful, Marina! Hope you like my other videos too.
Yep. Four years later, people are still enjoying your video. Clear, concise and accurate. Thank you.
You're welcome. Hope you like my other vids as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Clear; leaves no lingering questions.
Really? I have some questions: 1) Looks like the washer has to be placed with the rounded side up (and not reversed) before using the flaring tool? Is that correct or it doesn't matter? 2) Do I need a different size tool for the different size grommets or are the tools one size fits all? 3) What is the flaring tool basically doing? Is it flaring out the neck of the grommet such that it crimps the washer in place? 4) This is more of a statement and observation then a question, it looks like the side you do the work on is the "rough" looking side and therefore to work on the same side of the cloth for all grommets. Nevertheless, it's a nice demo on how to install a grommet.
Thanks
Grommet this! Grommet That!
Grommet here! Grommet there! Grommet grommet everywhere!
Zaylok lol he doesn’t get it
Let's drop in on a grommet.
Thank you for the quick, clear visual demonstration, and for skipping 'the commentary.'
+Trout Anon I thought the music would be better. However, I get a lot of negative comments about having to listen to music. Just can't win. Thanks for your feedback!
Very good K.I.S.S. video! Two things that you can do as well is to 1) glue the fold, &/or 2) stitch up the fold. This adds greater strength to the grommet. Good vid!
That is a fantastic tip, Guy! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you. Finding this, though nearly three years after you made it, was exactly what I needed to see. Perfect instructions.
Thanks for the kind words! So glad my video helped you out!
Thank you... love how easily and close up you did that! 💙
GREAT! So glad you liked my vid, Raechel!
A man after my own heart! Neat, efficient, no messiong, and total clarity. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
We've been trying for 45 minutes. My friend hit my hand with a hammer twice. Will saying your name three times in a bathroom mirror summon you??
ouch! Wish I could be there to show you. Can't believe the summoning didn't work. It works every single time my wife summons me!
😂🤣😅😆😆😅🤣😂
It'll summon a wicked case of chlamydia.
A+++ Video !!!! No talk, just action. The best!!! Thanks!!!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you! Nice straightforward video, exactly what I needed for my first time using a grommet kit.
Glad it helped!
This is quite possibly the best video in the history of you tube! Short , clear and concise!
Glad you think so, Kristin! I appreciate the kind words! Hope you like my other DIY vids.
This was the most helpful tutorial I could find on UA-cam! Thank you, you amazing man!
Glad it helped Iona!!!! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Hi Phil Crockett -
This is Your video on YT -
so feel free to use any damn music on your videos.
After all It was very kind of you to take the time to create this easy to understand video to help people out! So, Thank You!
You can’t please ‘em all. I have no complaints at all. I’m happy you created it and provided the content.
because you didn’t even have to do that.
People should be grateful, and if they don’t like the music then they can mute or lower the volume.
PS: It’d be funnier if you purposely used some oddball or obnoxious music for future videos 😂
Thank you for the great comment! I like the way you think! Mom King, your the best!
Phil Crockett
Glad you liked my comment, do nice of you to reply ✨
I’ve got a plethora of irritating songs, not sure how the licensing is related to YT though. LOL
Have a great holiday season
What a swood grommet
I'm a swood dude that's not rude so I don't get booed.
Lol this guy doesn’t know
Just wondering why someone would watch this video and then give it a thumbs down... funny stuff.
It's a common practice among the trolls.
Thank you for not having a 4 minute intro about the history of cloths lol
ikr!
Awesome how quick this was with no chatter to make it more confusing. Way clearer than the freakin’ instructions that came with the kit!
HA! Thanks for the positive feedback, Laura! I agree with you about the crappy instructions.
What a swood guy
I had to look up the word "swood"..... does that take away from my swoodness? BTW: Thanks for the positive feedback, Cato!
It’s from jontron u wouldnt understand unless u watched California games
Awesome. Quick and to the point with no time wasting chit chat. Thank you!
Glad you like my style, Mary! Thanks for watching and commenting!
That video was superb!!! Thanks so much. It was super clear and well done.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend!
Precise and to the point and the Banjo music is so much better than some of the stuff people play as background to their video.
thanks for watching and commenting, Don! Indeed I like the banjo music.
Thank you for this. Clear, concise and helpful. Grateful for your time x
You are so welcome!
that's pretty swood
ah ya! I'm a swood dude that's not rude.
Lol have you seen Jontron?
I like how you folded the corner for extra strength. Good idea, I've been having a problem with my grommets not holding and ripping my towels 😥
ya... it works pretty good. Thanks for watching, nick. Hope you like my other videos too.
Super cool 🎥👌😃🙋♂️
Thank you 👍, Jorge!
Short and right to the point. Just what I needed. Thanks.
You're welcome, Tony! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Probably the best DIY video ever.
Thanks, Anthony!!!!
Nice video! I have a poster flag obsession and some of the flags I like don't come with pre-installed grommets. I was thinking about finding a store that would install some for me, but this video and a DIY kit should be enough.
Thanks for the feedback! U should have no problem putting grommets in those flags. Let me know how it goes.
Wonderful! no fluff no nonsense just a prompt demonstration in under two minutes. Well done.
Thank you! I try to make all my videos like this
Thank you! Your video was the only one I could find that showed the pieces clearly and matched the kit that I had. Thank you!
Glad I could help, Kristal!
Well THAT was fun ! The music made it happen. Perfect ! Can’t wait to go get a grommet kit
Grommets rule! Thanks for watching and commenting
Great tutorial Phil unfortunately I had installed 2 incorrectly before finding your video :-( the others were perfect thanks to you!!
Glad it helped, Susie!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Me too! I had no idea how to use the tools!😢
How could anyone not like this video?
beats me!
Thank you for this video! It was straightforward, easy to follow and extremely helpful!
Thank you so much for the great comment, my friend! I hope you find all my videos like this!
I love it! Short, sweet, awesome music and no wasted time!
Glad you liked it!
You teach very well! Plus I like the music.
HA! Thanks!
that was actually very helpful👍
Glad I could help! thanks for the comment.
Sweet! That was cool lol Thanks for posting :)
No problem!
- Clear and simple
- No 5 minute intro
- No sponsor breaks
- No like and subscribe plea
Please make every how to video on everything from now on.
YES, Brian! I figure that people will either like these and find them useful, or they won't. I hope my other videos are just as helpful to you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
My grommet will not bend for the last part. I'm hitting it hard but I hope my husband can make it work when he gets home. Edit: I moved it to the floor wacked it harder and got it. Thanks!
Hope you didn't ruin your floor! Glad my video helped out, my friend
I have brain fog and this was PERFECT for what I needed done. Thank you so much!!!
I promise UA-cam read my mind. I purchased a Steelers flag and I THOUGHT, didn't say, but THOUGHT, I'll add some grommets to other ends so I can hang it horizontally. A few hours later this vid is on my time line. 😒🤔
Awesomesauce. That seems easy enough. Thanks.
I'm going to guess that you bought the flag on-line. If so, that could be explained. guaranty people that buy flags also buy grommets. I bought some cycling shorts recently, and now I get bike ads, vids, etc.... our purchasing behavior is being tracked. I don't like that, but that's the world we live in now. Hope my video helps you out.
Way too Easy Peasy; Japaneesy
Indeed!
thanks....now some teenager out there is thinking to "grommet" his ear with the help of his not too bright friend that thanks to your video now he thinks he is a grommet expert? ...
good observation
3/30/23: Quite a few expressed what I was thinking to write, so thank you!
Thanks much! Saved me. I was upside down and wondering what the heck was wrong with the grommet maker :)
Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend Steve
Alright... who is here because you're making your own P.P.E face masks? Just curious...
Good idea, Brandon!
That is super neat. On my way to get some of those. Thanks for the great vid!!!! Good luck!!!
Glad you like my video. Thanks for the positive feedback, Jose!
I'm grommet watch this over and over again.
I agree. Everyone should watch this over and over again.
Needed a quick refresher - quick and to the point Thanks
Great video, horrible music (had to mute)
ya...... I get that a lot. A while back, I put out a survey to my subscribers, asking them about music, or no music. The majority said they would rather have silence than music. SO..... I quit adding music from then on. Sorry to put you through it, but I'm VERY glad you stopped by to watch my video, and took the time to give such good feedback. We all have a different taste when it comes to art. I like variety, but there are some things that I just can't stand too. Thanks again.
Excellent how to, I’m wanting to make some golf towels and I’m needing them folded in thirds you made this look easy. Can you recommend good hole punch the one I have can’t even go thru two layers and I need three ( micro fiber towels ) love banjo reminds me of my dad
I simply used the whole punch that came with the kit. However, Tandy leather is a good store to shop for things like that.
Thanks so much for the great instructions. 179 dislikes? Why?
So glad you liked my video, Seb! I'm not worried about the dislikes.... there is always someone out there that likes to be hateful. Thank God for people like you that make the world a better place. Hope you like my other videos as well!
Fantastic video! Very helpful. Will this work on underwear too?
It will work on clean or dirty underwear
When you drop in on a grommet
I don't know when. How about next Thursday at noon?
Phil Crockett Grommet this, grommet that, prepare for grommet attack
grommet me, grommet you, this grommet attack may come true.
Noice, gonna make a golf towel out of a normal towel and I was wondering if I had to cut the hole myself, glad I won't have to, that would've been ugly, lol. Thank you!
I made a golf towel using this method as well! However, I'm better at installing grommets, than I am at playing golf
I will just have to break out my banjo and have my wife do this!!!! Many tanks!
great plan! I'll come over and listen!
This will be super helpful for putting gromments in my taxidermy keychains! Thanks so much!
Glad you liked my video! THanks for the feedback!

I’ll bet the bunny 🐇 , (originally named Hopper -and now is called Tripod) isn’t too happy that grommet kits are readily available at the local hardware store 😳😂😬
@Phil Crockett
personalized hammer. now thats diy
My kids thought it was funny. Every once in a while I’ll stick a logo in a scene just to hear them laugh. It’s like finding Waldo.
Hey northernitree. 😆😅😄😃😂. Right. 🖒🖒
?
I prefer talking. It it’s explanatory
Glad you liked my video! Thanks for watching and commenting!
thank you. none of the other vids i saw showed me which side the washer went. maybe it was just me, but i just couldn't figure out which side. thank you.
You're welcome! I hope my other videos on my channel helps you out!
My family had a grey striped cat 25 years ago. My brothers named him Grommet. I had a dream about him last night.
Cool name for a cat
Great now I'm going to go search for 10 hours of Lo-Fi banjo music thanks bro!
excellent! you have great taste!
Sweet grommets…I’m going to play some hillybilly music when I do mine.
indeed!
Finally... somebody getting to the point
INDEED! Thanks for watching and commenting! If you like 'no-bull' DIY, then check out my other videos. Subscribe, or not..... I just like knowing I helped you out. Thanks for taking the time to comment, my friend!
all that banjo noise without any cowbell. that's borderline criminal sir.
IKR!
I bought a grommet kit and followed the instructions. What surprised me is that I really had to whale away on it to get the grommet to seal.
It does take a bit of force for sure
Muchísimas gracias por la oportunidad de aprender de Ud
¡de nada mi amigo! Gracias por ver mis videos y comentar.
does it always have to be installed on a fold?
It does not, however I find it best if the fabric is thick. If it's thin, then I fold it
Thank you! easy, simple to understand :-D
Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. I enjoyed the bango too!!
HA! YES! I get a lot of complaints about the music. good to hear someone likes it!
Yes, this was great, to the point. I also was not sure which way to place the female grommet.
glad my video helped you out
UA-cam-- please remove all other grommet videos that are longer than this one.
HA! THANKS!
Thanks! Had the kit but couldn't remember how to use it.
Glad I could help, Mathew!
Thank you so much. This is the best video I could find to learn how to do this.
You're welcome, my friend!
Thank you very much sir for the clear and simple tutorial and the banjo was unexpected but pleasant. Thank you for it as well.
God bless you and yours sir.
thanks for watching! Yes... I like the banjo too....however, I get a lot of people complaining about it. LOL!
1:34 I am trying to put grommets for a purse handle…canNOT get the material to cut! It’s going through multiple layers but it’s not even cutting the top layer! What am I doing wrong???
You're probably doing everything right, it's just the cutting punch is a piece of junk and works best on super thin material. I've been known to burn holes using a red hot heated tip of a Phillips head screwdriver on material that is easy to melt.. otherwise, if it's too thick of material for the junkie punch, you will need to cut the hole out with an exacto-knife. The hole doesn't have to be perfectly round as long as it's snug on the Grommet. hope this helps.
Probably won’t see this but will this work on a flag?
it WILL work on a flag for sure!
I would add to make sure the hole cutter is sharpened before trying to use a hammer to hit the tube!
That is a very good tip! Thank you!
watched this twice for the music
Thank you from California
You're welcome! THANKS FOR BEING A SUBSCRIBER!!!
Excellent demo, thanks a bunch :D
My pleasure!
That looks terrible. The banjo was the best element of this video.
HAHAHA! LOL! Thanks for the honesty, Robert!!! However, if you want to see 'terrible'..... then look at your channel, and your subscribers! 2 can play this game..... HAHAHAHAHA!! LOL!! All in fun, my friend!!! Thanks for watching and commenting, Robert!
thanks for a great basic video. i needed this for my next project!
+GT birdleg you're welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback!
I’m hammering a grommet, but it’s not folding the metal down to close it off. It’s still loose enough I could take it off. Ideas?
I really dont know..... weird. Maybe someone else will answer....
@@PhilCrockett I did manage to do it, it just took a really long time.
LOVE the banjo pickin'.....
me too!
What’s up with the Hillbilly music? 😢
I like it. some to some don't, but hopefully the video helped you.
Great video. Thank you👍
You’re welcome, Danny!

3/10/24. Excellent! Clear, focused, concise & right to the point. Best video yet on grommets. Closeup visuals are great!!! No need for all the talking & watching someone's face yap on & on. I'm liking & subscribing. Thank you!!!
THANKS!!!!!!!
I loved this tutorial. Except the music lol
Yeah, I have gotten a lot of negative feedback about the music. I have since quit putting music in my videos. Just can't please everyone. Lol. Thank you so much for watching and commenting I hope you like my other videos as well.
Good to see it was, in fact, my Walmart grommet tool that was messing up and not me - thanks for this!
