For the animation character, see Wallace and Gromit.

Grommets and eyelets are metal, plastic, or rubber rings that are inserted into a hole made through another material. They may be used to reinforce the hole, to shield something from the sharp edges of the hole, or both.

Grommets as reinforcement


Grommets are used to reinforce holes in leather, clothing, shoes, and other fabrics. They can be made of metal or plastic, and are easily used in common projects, requiring only the grommet itself, a grommet-setting tool (a metal rod with a convex tip which usually comes with the grommets when you buy them in a store), and a hammer. Fancier grommet presses (as shown in the picture) exist but generally a hammer and the grommet-setting tool works at least as well for setting just a few grommets. Their most common usage is to strengthen the holes for bootlacing but are also good for making corsets and other laced clothing, plus curtains and other household items that require hanging from hooks. The grommet prevents the cord from tearing through the hole, thereby providing structural integrity. Small grommets are also called eyelets, especially when used in clothing.
