Step 3 Punch holes and add grommets

Allow your prints to dry completely. This can take up to 24 hours depending on the kind of paint you are using and the "gloppiness" of your print (gloppiness being my contribution to Webster's, by the way.) When dry, cut them out, allowing for a bit of space on either side for your grommets. Use the grommet setter's hole punching tool and punch holes on either side of your print cutouts. Be sure not to punch too near the edge or it will tear when you string them on the ribbon. After punching the hole, turn the print over and insert the grommet. Center your grommet setter squarely in the open grommet and hammer gently until it spreads out evenly against the card stock. I've learned that it's best to have a piece of scrap wood to do this on (and the hole punching as well) to protect my table!
