I ran across this very informative video on how to set a grommet.  Hope this helps!

Check out my Etsy shop gottagettadeal to find grommets and other great tools and supplies.

Enjoy creating!

Beautiful Texture!!!!

Texture can add a beautiful finish to your Pure Food Safe Aluminum Jewelry Piece.

Monica Crosby Donohoe  of Birmingham, Alabama

Has used a hammered finish using a ball peen hammer.

The beauty of the hammered finish is that you don't need to tumble your pieces of metal.

Hammer your blank with the rounded side of the ball peen hammer.  

Remember to also hammer around the edges of the piece.

THE COMBINATION OF THE PEARLS AND THE RUGGED HAMMERED FINISH 

CREATE A PIECE WITH A BEAUTIFUL CONTRAST.

What a beautiful option.

You can find ball peen hammers at your local home improvement store or you can also pick one of these up at gottagettadeal on ETSY.

Have fun and enjoy creating!
