So I had this sweater sitting in my closet that just felt… too plain. You know when a piece is cute but missing that little edge? Instead of regular buttons, I decided to replace them with metal grommets — and it instantly gave the top more character...

everything you need to install grommets cleanly. Perfect for sweaters, denim, or even bags. I used the medium-sized silver ones for that subtle but bold look.

Extra grommets because you’ll definitely want to make more projects after this. I love mixing finishes (silver + gunmetal) for that hardware-inspired vibe.

It helps you pop them off without ripping or stretching the knit, especially if the thread is thick or tight. A total hack for prepping your sweater before adding the grommets.

I added these to give my sweater a hardware-core twist — think subtle streetwear energy. You can clip one onto the grommet or use them to attach charms or chains for extra personality
