This Upholstery Technique Never Gets Old

Deep button tufting is one of those furniture techniques that never gets old. In this project I'm building a handmade tufted ottoman from scratch, showing the full upholstery process—from marking the diamond pattern and pulling every button to shaping the soft velvet into deep, luxurious folds. What starts as a simple piece of foam and fabric slowly transforms into a premium piece of furniture that looks like it belongs in a luxury showroom. If you enjoy woodworking, upholstery, furniture making and satisfying DIY projects, you'll probably enjoy this build. New furniture projects every week.
