If your grommet curtains are looking a bit dated, you don't have to necessarily replace them. Give them a mini makeover with some of these clever ideas.

Place the grommet just below the hem on one side of the pocket. Loop the grommet with suede cord, leaving enough to wrap around the roll and secure it. Cut off the excess.

Boston -based and founded in 2008, The Grommet earns its revenue by partnering with promising inventor-sellers, then working together to reach potential customers and build their brands.
