Bodice - Day 6

Have I told you how much I hate setting grommets.  So I have these two craft tools that I bought a while ago. One is a pliers like thing to set grommets, the other is a stapler like thing that is supposed to do the same. I have had to fight with these damn things every time I've needed them. The grommets I bought for the bodice came with this metal die and a hard plastic disk, so I tried that. BAM with the hammer and the grommet goes in like magic.

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE?

WHY DIDN'T ONE OF MY FRIENDS TELL ME ABOUT THIS?

Am I now part of a secret club because I figured this out?

Oh, and where do I buy different sizes of these miracle tools?

I feel like I just stumbled on a $1000.00 bill.  I have fought so much with setting grommets that the thought of having to do it makes me a bit annoyed.  Now, No Problem, just give me a hammer and a sturdy table.

So I have to go get more grommets, because I don't have enough of the correct size for the straps.  I thought I had another pack. 

BTW anyone want a couple of slightly used grommet setting tools?  No, OK they go into the yard sale box.
