Thanks Christina!
I’ve used this technique several times and it’s sooo much easier than threading!

I have always been afraid to try button tufting, but this seems easy! Your bench is beautiful!

This may be easier than what I do. I put the screw through the button back, screw it down, then snap the top of the button down. I do put glue in the top to hold the fabric down so it snaps down easily.

Natasha,

I think the buttons would hold okay, if the wood is thick enough to securely fasten the screws. I would make sure you turn the egg crate upside down. 😉

Great finish! I’m thinking of doing some metal chairs for my breakfast nook area any suggestions on covering an egg crate mattress ? Not sure how well buttons would hold.

Amanda,
I’m not sure if this is durable enough for a sofa that may get a lot of lounging (wallering) 🙂

Do you think this would work on a sofa?
