Review on Matte Black Curtain Grommets, 8 Pack - Perfect For Modern Home Décor! by Stan Myers

I finally caved and bought these for over 15 dollars here and arrived today with the larger ones that are also dritz I bought for 1/3 the price for matching set of 8. I am making a customized special yarn tote for a friend and needed the grommets to match for the two sizes. I have real metal brass and silver finished grommets in 1/2 size which either would have worked well but she loves PINK and so the tote is made of combination of outdoor 500D pink cordura cloth and pink and grey ripstop nylon inner lined materials. I will use One BIG grommet on each of the narrower ends and 4 of the smaller ones on each of the wider sides so she will have a variety of optional holes to choose from for her various projects and meet all yarn sizes one way or another. However my star reduction from 5 down to 3 is price. When should anything made of plastic that uses half as much plastic or less cost three times as much than the twice the size larger sized version for the exact same number of 8 per pack. No I thought it was excessive to pay 16 dollars basically for a set of grommets made of plastic that are only 1 inch because that pretty much doubles the fabric and material cost already in the project. So yes insane. However I wanted the project to turn out really special so I bit the bullet so to speak and bought these along with the larger ones. I thought carefully and long about a week to make up my mind to just either go with the super large all around the bag and save 10 dollars overall by buying to packs of the large ones but in the end just decided my friend was worth it. (For myself I would have just gone with the 1/2 to 3/4" metal grommets in silver or brass. The grey was because I did not like the brass with the pink as nice as the silver or a grey worked much nicer and more class. I think I will run a cording in silver-grey taffeta all around the outter seams of the bag too to bring it really together as a theme. (I am also adding some goodies and inner bags pockets with and without zippers both inside and out along with a pull out tray that can hold up to 8 skeins of yarn and it too will divide into 4 so say she's using 4 different yarns for a project that will allow her to have a full half of the tote to store the project as it grows on the other side. Say a large scarf or even alfghan or sweater. If it comes out well I intend to make one for a friend in Texas I bought years ago a knitting machine from. I know she loves periwinkle and purples but not enough to plunge right into finding a match in cordura cloth just yet. Ok that's my review. But really if I were to do this again I would go with a pack of 24 off brand so you get a lot more for your money and they work just as well. Only reason I didn't do that myself this time was I wanted the two size choices and did prefer the plastic and medium darker grey Dritz named pewter.
