How to Make a New Hole in a Shower Curtain

Shower curtains feature holes across the top for hanging. You can slip hooks through the holes and conveniently hang the curtain from a tension rod. Over time, a vinyl shower curtain hole may rip due to everyday wear and tear. If you don't repair the hole, the shower curtain may hang at an angle or create a gap through which water can leak. You can create a new hole to make the curtain as good as new again.
