Tufting

When you ladies are in discussions with your significant others about what type of furniture to get I have found the perfect option. It is both feminine and masculine at the same time…Tufting! You can use it on so many different types of applications and it is an easy project that you can even do at home yourself.

Tufting is classic, it’s elegant and it can add personality to even plain furnishings. Tufted chairs, tufted headboards, tufted ottomans and tufted daybeds, to name a few: tufting works wonders on almost any upholstered or leather piece when it comes to upping its chic ness factor. Whether it has a lot of covered buttons, just a few, or rows of indented stitches that pull at the fabric, solid tufted fabric always looks special and catches the eye.

Here’s a simple way to tuft a sofa pillow:
1. Get 4 very large, matching buttons (the size of half-dollars) that coordinate with your color scheme.
2. Take a pair of relatively soft, flat decorative pillows and sew two of the buttons back to back in the center, with heavy thread, until taut. This should create one center indentation on each side, if the buttons are well secured. Repeat with the second pillow and you’re done.
Enjoy the Project!
