How to Install an Integrated Grommet and Ring…by Ning Bags

 

This integrated grommet and ring is a unique and stylish piece of handbag hardware that can be used with any handbag or tote made from leather or fabric up to 4 mm thick. With a strong, quality metal finish, this integrated grommet and ring will definitely give your project a distinctive look and the perfect finish touch! Just follow the instructions below to install the integrated grommet and ring.

***While the following instructions show how to install the integrated grommet and ring on fabric, you can also apply these directions to leather projects. ***

1. First you need to prepare a small 1×20 mm screwdriver and a set of Integrated Grommet and Ring.

2. Take apart the grommet plates by removing the small screws. The back grommet plate has 2 threaded holes and will be on the inside of your bag, while the front grommet plate without these threaded holes will be on the outside of your bag.

3. Determine the initial position of the grommet by aligning the back plate with your bag, leaving about ½” from the top edge. Use a fabric pencil and trace the inner opening of the plate onto your bag fabric to help you in the next step.

4. Use a magic marker and ink the rounded raised lip of the back plate.

5.Press the inked back plate into the fabric with your fingers to mark the correct grommet position on your bag.  Also mark screw positions at this time.

6. Carefully cut a hole along the marked raised lip line using small sharp scissors. Be careful when cutting the hole.

7. Assemble the grommet by screwing the two plates together. Make sure the pin hole on the plate is positioned toward the top of the bag.

8. Slide the ring into the inner opening of the grommet.

9. Insert the first pin into its hole on the back plate side. This will insert easily. Turn the grommet over and pull the other pin into its hole on the front plate side. This will be more difficult. Use steady pressure to pull the ring apart until the pin seats into its hole.
