Great tip on putting the drill in reverse! I tried doing this once and was super scared out of my mind when the foam came in contact with the drill. I watched a ton of tutorials and no one ever gave that tip. You're awesome....thanks for shedding a lot of light on this process 👍🇹🇹

Great job! I have a king sized pleather headboard and footboard thats peeling bad. I really dont want to get rid of it because i love my bed. I may try upholstering myself. But for now, Ill keep watching your videos until i feel comfortable in doing so. Thanks for posting!!

[@renaeethengain4854]

Excellent job. Thanks for the video. What kind of fabric are you using? Do you have any recommendations for fabric? Thanks.

[@leannhayes5444]

Your “gardening shears” are actually metal shears where I come from and growing up we referred to them on the farm as “tin snips”. I just recently discovered your channel and I am enjoying your videos. Nice to get info on upholstery techniques from the UK.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Leann! Yes I’ve also heard them called tin snips - probably a more accurate name for them! Thank you for watching and glad you enjoy them 😊

[@patriciavelazquez1010]

Thank you so much for your information for demonstrating above and beyond what others are not willing to do they just put it on fast forward and you figure it out you know what I'm saying but you went the extra step and because you did that I'm going to subscribe to your channel I'll watch the other ones but I'm not going to subscribe to them unfortunately thank you again.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Ahh I’m so glad to hear it!! You can do it!! Let me know if you have any questions along the way 😊👍🏻

[@danielaluna8895]

Thank you so much, so excited to do this project. May I ask what type.of fabric you use?

[@faceliftinteriors]

This is called Plush Velvet by Warwick Fabrics. 👍🙏📐📎✂️⛏️🧵

:) i am doing my own tufted headboard now and your tips helped to avoid few silly mistakes i would have done otherwise:) x

[@faceliftinteriors]

So glad it helped you! Good luck with your headboard 😁👍🏻 Let me know how you get on!

[@conservativeveterans3129]

💕👌wow 🥰😍

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you Eva 🙏🏻😊

[@visumgroup]

great video, as others have said, watched many but you get on with it, no distractions of playing silly games, good vid. I have a question, what depth foam have you used? And, How much does the diamond on the fabric grow compared to the diamond on the foam based on foam depth, so if you had deeper foam would it still be that inch and quarter or more? is there some formula? thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Darren, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you for watching mate, it’s really appreciated! I used 2 inch foam on this one, which is what I generally use for deep buttoned headboards. As all fabrics are different and some stretch and some don’t, the best thing to do is take a spare piece of the fabric you’re using and staple down into the holes and create a diamond with pleats. Then take that off and measure how big your diamond is and apply that to the rest of them. Then you shouldn’t go wrong. I hope this makes sense!

[@visumgroup]

@@faceliftinteriors perfect mate, thanks for the reply, will give that a try :-) thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

@@visumgroup no worries mate - hope it works for you 👍🏻

[@alisonberry6132]

Thanks for a great tutorial. I have looked everywhere on the internet to get the drill bit that you use but can't find one without the wood drill in the middle (presumably used for a pilot hole in wood). Can you point me in the right direction please. Thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Alison! Try searching for a ‘holesaw’ drill bit. The one I use is a 32mm drill bit. I hope that helps 😊👍🏻

[@alisonberry6132]

@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the info, I will have another look. 😊👍🏻

[@eangelajohnson7336]

Very nice work..... what size buttons are those?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks for watching and for the kind comment 😊 They are 19mm buttons 👍

[@alanahamson2928]

@@faceliftinteriors thanks for your video! I have 25mm buttons, is a 30mm holesaw bit still ok?

[@faceliftinteriors]

@@alanahamson2928 Hi Alana, thanks for watching! It should be fine. I usually use 19mm buttons and a 32mm drill bit but as long as the holes you make in the foam are larger than the buttons, it should be fine!

[@mesul4313]

Amazing tufting but of boy those legs deserve a better look! Step 1 - send off all the stain mix sealer with a lil bit of white wash aaaaand taa-daam, finish as a beautiful light wooden legs!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks! The legs aren't on show so no worries. 👍🧵📎📐✂️⛏️

[@venusmakeup3171]

Good job could you tell me for king size headboard 200cm x 80cm how many fabric do I need? the velvet fabric width is 150cm Do you know how many meters fabric do I need to make king size tufted headboard? Many thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi! Thanks for watching 😊 it depends how many diamonds you want to do as obviously the more diamonds, the more fabric you’d need but I’d say about 3 meters should cover a king sized headboard. Hope that helps 😊👍🏻

[@ItsThePacey]

6:16 - 🤣🤣

[@faceliftinteriors]

Haha I know 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@adrianamendiola7506]

Can you please let me know what type of fabric you used

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yes of course it's by Warwick Fabrics and the range is 'Plush Velvets' and the colour is 'Petal'. Thanks for watching 👍

[@divinesdoor222Tiktok]

You can just use staples to hold the fabric down then glue buttons ❤
