Description
Screw In Grommets 15mm Gunmetal
Add a decorative opening and practical hardware feature to handmade bags, wallets and accessories with these Screw In Grommets 15mm Gunmetal.
The Gunmetal option features a dark gunmetal finish that suits modern, understated and darker hardware combinations. The rounded ring shape can be used for chain, cord, straps and other decorative details while helping cover the cut edge of the opening.
Unlike press together grommets, this two piece style is secured with screws and does not require a setting die.

Please refer to the measurements image and test the complete grommet on an offcut before cutting your finished project.
Suitable Bag Making Materials
These screw-in grommets can be used with many materials commonly chosen for bags and accessories, including:
- Vinyl faux leather.
- Genuine leather.
- Cork fabric.
- Canvas.
- Fabric reinforced with suitable interfacing or stabiliser.
- Layered bag panels.
Material thickness and density can vary. Always check that your completed layers suit the grommet and allow the screw-in pieces to meet securely without distorting the material.
How to Install Screw In Grommets
- Mark the centre of the required grommet position.
- Prepare an opening that suits the grommet and your material. For thicker and layered bag materials, the 15mm Hole Cutting Die Set and KAM DK93 Hand Press can be used.
- Position one grommet piece on the front and the matching piece on the reverse of the material.
- Align the screw holes and insert the included screws.
- Tighten the screws gradually and evenly with a suitable small screwdriver.
- Check that the grommet sits securely without overtightening or distorting the material.
Helpful Tip from Chris
Before cutting your finished bag panel, test the complete grommet on an offcut made from the same material, interfacing and number of layers.
This lets you check the opening size, finished thickness and fit of the grommet before committing to your project. The 15mm Hole Cutting Die is the correct size for these CLD Screw In Grommets when preparing thicker and layered materials.
For softer fabrics, adding a small piece of suitable interfacing or stabiliser around the grommet area can help support the hardware and reduce stretching during use.
