Try Michaels craft store if you have one locally
Hi,

There are a few suggestions in these old discussions which are worth looking at.

Look in the area where they sell tarps. Those grommets work great. Got mine at ACE but any hardware or big borg store will have them
I keep waiting for someone to put in a borg store around here. I'll take a 7 of 9 in brunette please...

Most hardware stores have a shelf of "odd parts" arranged in little drawers. That's where most of 'em have the big grommets..Usually up to 1" or so. These parts bins are a treasure trove; I always look through them.
Another handy sound-hole trim is "computer grommets" these are plastic stepped rings up to about 1 1/2" diameter. Usually, you can get them in black, silver, gold, or a dumb gray (that you could paint...). They work quite well as trim on larger soundholes.
These work great too!

Hello all, I have been adding more varieties of larger curtain grommets in my shop. Have several sizes in brass, copper and nickel, and just ordered a 1.5" nickel variety today. I also have smaller standard grommets, and those brass candle cup grommets that are in the photo above. Check out my site: http://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=26
I purchased some of these from you CBGitty. They work great, plus the price was good, and it's always convenient and easy making a purchase from your site.
