Step 1

Begin with a set of clean panel curtains.

Step 2

Lay the curtains on a sturdy flat surface.

Step 3

Mark the placement for the grommets on the curtain with a fabric pen. Place the first grommet 1 inch away from the edge of the curtain seam. Be sure to center the grommet horizontally so that it is not to close to the top of the curtain. Recommended grommet spacing from the top of the curtain is 1 and ¼ inches. Grommets should be placed 6 inches apart for larger grommets, and 8 inches apart for smaller grommets.
