Corset for the Business Professional

Step 10 Insert Grommets

Part 1: Mark Back Edge
____________________________________________________________________________

Use the guide you printed out to mark the grommet spacing on the inner channel along
the back edge. Figure 10-1.

Part 2: Punch Grommet Holes
____________________________________________________________________________

Use a hole punch to punch out the holes for the grommets. Figure 10-2

Part 3: Affix Grommets
____________________________________________________________________________

Attach the grommets by whatever means you have Figure 10-3. I used the Home pro
LR with the 6E die (which is intended for eyelets) which reshapes the grommet in a
manner I find appealing.

Part 4: Lacing
____________________________________________________________________________

It is easy to find pre-cut and tipped laces online. I recommend a length of seven yards.
In a pinch you could probably find a suitable set of shoe laces or use a length of sturdy
(i.e. grosgrain) ribbon.

A great link to a site demonstrating eight different ways to create aglets (the tip of the
lace) can be found here. Heat shrink tubing will probably be the easiest of these
methods.

My favorite way to tip laces though is find a nice set of bolo tips from a leather
crafting store.

Part 5: Your Finished
____________________________________________________________________________

corset of your own. Feel free to message me if you have questions or a suggestion.
