ANCHOR FOR GROMMET

Materials Needed:

1. Crochet thread that is strong enough to be pulled on and not break -- comparable to whatever thread or string is being used for the netting.

2. A 5 to 8 mm bead, or whatever size will be large enough to NOT slip through the grommet.

NOTE: If you find that the anchor bead you are using is too small, remove it from the center of the grommet, make another anchor using a larger bead and replace the anchor into the center of the grommet



To make anchor:

1.	Cut piece of threat about 12 inches long.



		2.	Fold thread in half (now 6 inches long).



3.	Put small crochet hook or needle threader through hole in small bead and through loop formed by folding thread.



		4.	Pull loop formed by folding thread through the bead.



5.	Remove hook or threader from loop.



		6.	Put both loose ends through loop.



7.	Hold firmly to the bead, and pull the loop tight around the bead.



		8.	Tie loose ends together with overhand knot.



9.	Anchor is now ready to be used with the grommet in circular netting.
