I found this www.thriftyfun.com and I won't take credit for it.
I tested the directions, though, and it worked!

I just ran into the exact same problem with a grommet kit -- we probably both have the same one! There is a piece that you need to use in the kit that is barely mentioned (the anvil) but it is not pictured in the directions on the package!! The best way I can describe this piece is it looks like a disc with a channel around it and a hole in the middle. Take this piece and set it on your work surface, with the channel side facing up. Then, set your eyelet on top of the first piece. If you did it right, the eyelet "fits" on the base piece I first mentioned (the anvil.) Then, your fabric comes next, with the right side down against your work surface and the wrong side facing you. After the fabric, take the washer, with the teeth facing down, and place it on top of the fabric covered eyelet. Now, take the short end of the tool (looks like a T with a round long stem) and insert it into the barrel of the eyelet which is facing you. The last step is to pound hard with a hammer on top of the tool end. Two tips: make sure your work surface is extremely sturdy, like a workbench and not a wobbly table; this affects how well you can successfully attach your grommets. Secondly, you will probably have to pound on the tool 6 to 12 times or so to get the eyelet and washer flattened properly. I had the extra large grommet kit, but if your grommets are smaller, you may not have to pound as hard or long with your hammer. If you have any other questions, post again. Good luck!
