Button Tufting Tutorial

[Darren B]

I just uploaded a tutorial on my Youtube channel on how I do my button tufted upholstery. You can even use it for tuck and roll upholstery for the customs of the 1950-1960's.

check out my website. I am in the process of making a new video, better quality lighting and using a new tool that you can buy at hobby lobby for 4.99. I also forgot to mention that the round cutter has to be filed flat as to not cut the foam. Update soon. I have clearer up close pics of this tutorial on my web site to. Click on my website link below and its on tips and techniques page.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES DARREN, HAVE YOU TRIED TO DOUBLE UP THE SHEETS TO MAKE THE TUFFS A LITTLE DEEPER OR MORE PUFFY?

ALSO, HAVE YOU TRIED PAINTING THIS?

Tom, now that is an idea, about doubling up the thickness, I will give that a go, if it does make a difference I will show it here. Never thought about painting the foam, not sure if enamel would work but maybe acrylic paint may work.
