How to add nailhead trim to upholstery
Choose quality tools and materials.
Poor quality nails will bend and warp when you're installing the trim, which will make the process more difficult. A regular hammer will work just fine on nails, but a rubber mallet or hammer covered in cloth will protect your upholstery should you miss a nail.
There are many different size, shape, and color nails you can use in this project. Check your local hardware or craft store to find unique nails for your trim.
