Step 3Grommet!
Now that we have the holes marked, we'll want to put in some grommets. This way, when we put some bolts into the bag, the holes won't eventually tear and fall apart, so our wheels will stay with our bag.
The grommet kit I'm using I just picked up from the hardware store for like 8 bucks.
To use it, we take the hole punching part and use that to make nice holes where we just marked. Mine involved placing a wood block in the bag, then hammering a hole punch into it. Unfortunately, it wasn't very sharp, so it took a while, especially since luggage fabric is kinda geared to be hard to cut and tear. Yours may be different, so read those instructions, too.
Next, place the two grommet pieces on either side of the holes you just cut, and using the special grommet block and punch, hammer the pieces together.
Now your bag should be full of holes! In this case, this is actually a good thing.
