I would like to make my own (interior) grills for the new windows I
will be putting in my home, but I'm at a loss on how to hold them in.
I have not found any widgets to put in the grill that will allow them
to be easily removed, yet stay in place. Does anyone have a suggestion
for this problem?

Using "window grill clips" in Google came up with this site ...

Good luck.

What sort of windows are you putting in? It's usually easiest to use
the same attachment system that the manufacturer uses. Pella uses a
brass tack into the window, and a clip in the end of the grille:

Andersen uses a metal spring clip for their wood grilles:

Tx both for the links.

They're Anderson. The key word I was missing in my google was
'clip'. I will have to look a the windows to see if there is an
advantage to using thier hardware.

Actually, Andersen (note, two E's - will definitely affect your search)
calls them fasteners in their product literature, IIRC. It's other
people that call Andersen's clips clips.
