Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors
RUclips has changed the way they monetize my content.

Monetizing my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with new equipment to improve the viewing quality so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me :-) Many thanks for your support!
What a fabulous tutorial. You're so much fun to watch as well, absolutely hilarious. Thanks so much I'm going to try to DIY my headboard now
Thank you for reminding me to measure the depth of the foam when measuring fabric. I would have forgotten, for sure!!
I’m glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻
Absolutely beautiful!
Great job!
Thanks Gina, much appreciated ☺️🙏📐📌🧵🧵
100 % best video have seen on this, that is so helpful thank you
Thank you David! Appreciate you watching and for your comment 😊👍🏻
This is your best video yet!! Loved it, thank you 👍🏻
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I've been following your RUclips channel your wood work is very impressive
Thank you very much!🙏🧵✂️📎📐⛏️
Does the same pleating technique work with heavier material like suedette?
Depends on how thick, you are better with a stretchy velvet. 👍🧵📐⛏️✂️
You make it look so simple.
How do I decide how far apart I want the buttons ? I’m making a double bed headboard 4ft tall
The verticle is always larger than the horizontal measurement. Average size is probably 8" x 6" diamond. Don't let your buttons finish closer than 2" from the edge. Hope this helps ⛏️ 🧵 📎 📐 ✂️ 👍
Looks very hard !
U we just buy the fabric like that???
Thank you so much, so helpful. I’m going to give it a go 🤞🏻 haven’t got much else to do right now lol
Go for it! Let us know how you get on 😀👍 Thanks so much for watching.
What spray did you use to glue the foam to the back board?
Upholstery spray glue or heavy duty spray adhesive. 👍😊🧵📐✂️⛏️
Beautiful. Just a video I need. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful, thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻
You're awesome man.
So on my couch the pleats are fading
Is this normal? Can it be fixed? Any idea how to make them stay in place?
Hi there! It’s hard to say without seeing a picture. If you have Instagram, send me a photo over there and I’ll have a look!
Wow I really like that thank you for showing I think I will try
Ah glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
Exited to make my own then I saw this.. I'll just leave it to the professionals 😄
Haha give it a go! Not the easiest for beginners but can be done 😁👍🏻
Brother thanking you very much for giving all the information about all tools .Love you brother from India
Thank you mate 😊👍🏻 best wishes to India 🤝
I really enjoyed watching this thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed, thank you Julie!! 😊👍🏻
Nice work!
Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻
I am a driver by professional I do watch RUclips how to make a sofa eventually I make one for myself you are going to be my teacher
I thankyou sir 🙏 ☺️ 🙏⛏️🧵📎✂️
Great video!! Quick question. You used a 32mm drill bit. How big are your buttons? Can l use a 21mm drill bit for 23mm buttons?
Hi Victoria! Thank you for watching! My buttons were 19mm. Usually I like to drill the hole slightly bigger than the buttons so they drop down nicely. But there’s no rules to say you have to! Give it a go with the sizes you have and see what you think 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors I have bigger drill bits l will use a bigger one. Thank you.
Some upholsterers I know use a slightly tighter ratio of buttons to drill bit so it’s completely up to you with what athletic you like the look of and what’s easiest for you. Good luck with your project 😊👍🏻
Hi, I want to reupholster my headboard in chesterfield style. I have a leather bed and want to know the easist way of doing the project. I thought use a foam for the new headboard and spray adhesive it to the existing headboard, would that work? I thought if I use a light mdf board it may be too heavy to attach to the exisiting headboard. I want minimal damage to the bed as possible so I can revert back to leather if I choose at a later date. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance,
Hi Sara! I wouldn’t recommend trying to put a new headboard on top of the old headboard as it may not be strong enough. I would suggest taking the old fabric and foam off and applying new foam to the original wood if you want to reupholster it or you can make a new headboard using 12mm or 18mm mdf depending on how heavy you want it to be. I have an old video showing how I made an old plain wooden headboard into a deep buttoned one - have a look at the video here ruclips.net/video/6YHpFQmwp8M/видео.html I hope you find this helpful 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors thanks for the tip. Unfortunatly it is a leather bed so didn't want to start taking that apart in case I wanted to revert back later. I may just have to cover the existing headboard with material rather than go for a chesterfield style. Thanks
I really want to try to reupholster an old tufted red velvet headboard we’ve got lying around but would I have to buy that whole buttoning machine? The stuffing is fine but I just want it in a different colour.
Some DIYers make their buttons with glue - although it can get a bit messy! Alternately, you could always ask your local upholsterer to make you some up...they probably wouldn’t charge you much at all. Let me know how you get on with your headboard, good luck 😁👍🏻
What's the best way to work the difference between the original diamonds to the diamonds on the fabric
Hi David! So with the diamonds on the foam you measure them how you want the diamonds to finish - then the diamonds on the fabric you have to make an allowance for the drop into the foam and the stretch of the fabric. Some fabrics stretch more one way than the other so you would have to test out your fabric and allow for that. So I tend to do about an extra inch or an inch and a quarter allowance on each diamond depending on the stretch of the fabric.
What do you call the one that press the button??
Do you mean how to make buttons? I use a button press machine.
Excellent. Thank you!
Thank you for watching Jamil 😊👍🏻
Does the quilt batting resist the button from going up to the bottom?
Hi Franzeska, good question! I make holes in the batting first before I put the fabric on and start buttoning. So it doesn’t resist the button from going to the bottom. The batting is quite thin anyway so wouldn’t resist much but I make holes in it to make life easier 👍🏻 it just gives upholstery a nice luxurious finish. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching!
FaceLiftInteriors thanks for answering my question! Been confused about it for awhile 🤣 btw nice project thanks again ❣️
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it 😁👍🏻
This is very helpful ❤
Glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching! 😊🙏🏻
First 13seconds and I am sold on subscription 😂
Haha thank you!! Really appreciate you subscribing 🙏🏻😊
How do you reupholster a headboard that already has tufting? (It’s a leather board and has got scratched and scuffed.) Thanks!
Hi Ameesha! Sorry for the delayed reply. Remove the fabric and if the foam is still decent then you can reuse the foam with the holes already drilled for you to copy the tufting design in new fabric 👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the reply! I probably won't re-tuft it so I might have to replace the foam as it'll have holes in it.
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Very lovely!😍👌🏽
Thank you Minnie! 😊
hi. what type of fabric did you use?
Hi Alisha! This fabric was by Linwood Fabrics called ‘Pronto’. It’s a linen style fabric for upholstery. Hope that helps 😊👍🏻
@@faceliftinteriors thank so much for the info. keep up good work!❤️
WHAT would u charge for that, typically? Idk what size it was… looks full or possibly Queen… thinkin it’s full.
Wondering what u would charge for a king and for a queen that u made urself?!
Hi Cassie! Send me a message on Instagram and I’ll let you know prices 😊👍🏻
Thanks again mate for another cool video. What size staples do you use? Does staple size make a significant difference? I bought an electric staple gun that came with some staples.
Thanks mate for watching and for the comment 😊🙏🏻 I usually use 8mm staples when upholstering or 6mm if I know I’ll need to remove the staples as they’re easier to remove. The size of the staples doesn’t make a significant difference to the finished look but longer staples are a nightmare to get out if you make a mistake. 8mm I found the best to use 😊 hope that’s helpful!
Looks the buisness I'm a upholsterer myself. Were did you get the foam cutter from ?
Thanks a lot mate! It’s a Bosch GSG 300 and got mine from HoweTools but you can get them from a few different places online 😊👍🏻
Nice one mate. Are they about £400
iain spinks yea it’s normally about £400 for the machine and then you have to pay for the blades and the guide separately...so normally totals about £600. But definitely worth the money if you’re going to be cutting foam often!
Cheers mate I might look in to it . Look forward to seeing your next video
iain spinks thanks a lot for watching, really appreciate it 👍🏻
Thank you
And thank you for watching! 😊🙏🏻
Cracking job
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
You look great!!
Haha thank you!
New friend Goodluck, Full support Godbless
That’s really kind, thank you friend!
Killer job
Thanks Whitney 😁👍🏻 and thanks for watching!!
Bro dont you think drawing the buttons on the fabric is a waste of time? I usually lay the fabric on top and where a button needs putting in just pierce through it
Hmm if you are experienced then no it's not 100% necessary. I can deep button free hand but If you come off line you end up in trouble. I know very experienced upholsterers who still just draw the lines to follow. 🙏☺️✂️📐⛏️🧵📎
Skip that Intro, show me what I came for
😂🤣 SO CUTE!!! you yelled at "America" for calling it batting 😂🤣. Well, I'm very sorry to say that "batting" (Dacron or Wadding to the Brits) is actually an AMERICAN invention. If you invent it, you get to name it. American colonists called it "batting" because, after picked cotton was dried by a fire, it was hand carded (rubbed) into little wooden blocks called "batts" ... the squares of cotton that came off the batts, were called BATTING. In the 1700s, after the invention of the cotton engine, and then cotton gin, American colonies started shipping processed "batting" directly to England.
Well I can’t argue with that now Kellie can I?!🤣🤣
Great Video - Would be better without the swearing!!!!!
Sorry Carol 🤭
It is very difficult to understand. Very heavy accent. 😢
So sorry Jenny 😅
