They lead keep also been gracious plenty to render i of their leather upholstery hides to i lucky reader!

Ever since adding our mudroom I knew I would take to gear upwards a bench to tally inwards the nook past times the door. DIY'ing a tufted leather bench seemed to hold upwards the perfect solution for this piffling space. Add inwards the custom hairpin legs my vecino welded too I had the perfect mudroom addition.

Supplies Used: Affilitae links lead keep been used for your convienece. For to a greater extent than information see my discolsure polciy here.

I started amongst a small-scale slice of plywood that I picked upwards from Home Depot too then cutting downward to size.

Instead of buying expensive foam (can you lot believe how much it is?) I bought an $8.00 full/queen foam mattress pad from Walmart too cutting it downward to brand 4 layers of foam. I used Spray adhesive to continue the layers together too inwards place.

I didn't similar the view of having harsh woods edges, hence I also wrapped a slice of foam some the exterior of the wood.

After roofing the foam inwards batting it was fourth dimension to start stapling downward my leather.

HERE'S WHERE I GOOFED!

I'm all close beingness honest too sharing my experiences, which sometimes way I lead keep to part the bad amongst the good. I mistakenly stapled the leather some the entire bench too had a lot of problem tufting the leather. You'll desire to continue i long side costless inwards enterprise to force the cloth too tuft the leather easily. I ended upwards having to take away the staples from i side of the bench earlier adding my buttons.

While my leather was yet incorrectly stapled, I measured too drilled my holes for the buttons. You'll desire to brand certain you lot exclusively drill through the wood. Avoid drilling besides far too into the leather.

For the buttons I used 8 ball comprehend buttons that I covered inwards complementing fabric.

You'll take long decorator's needles too waxed clitoris thread to install your buttons too exercise your tufting. This was my start fourth dimension using waxed clitoris thread too it was amazing too made pulling the string too getting the buttons tight hence easy.

I started past times tying a few large knots at the cease of my string too then secured it amongst a staple.

I carefully pushed my needle upwards through my leather too added my button.

Once my clitoris was added I cutting the cease of my string, making ii pieces. Before securing my clitoris I gathered the leather from where my previous clitoris was to exercise the tufting too then pulled the string tight too tied it off.

After I had my 8 buttons secure I stapled downward the balance of the leather.

After I had the bench consummate I helped (AKA held the torch for a picture) my vecino amongst the hairpin legs. I pretty much merely told him the size too pattern I wanted too watched equally he worked his magic.

Once the legs were consummate I screwed them to the plywood too my tufted leather bench was complete!
