I have been making quite a few plywood keyrings, i laser a 2mm hole through the 3mm thick material.

I'd like to reinforce the hole with a metal grommet, my efforts to find something that is suitable for this thickness have proven unsuccessful. I'm looking for metal grommet, but they tend to be too short and only suitable for canvas or leather material etc.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Look for rivets, specifically hand set, not the ones with the pin in the middle.
