A Quick Tip for Installing Nailhead Trim

Details
Nailhead trim is a popular way to add a stylish, finishing touch to upholstery projects. But lining up hundreds of nails in a neat, straight line can be a tedious undertaking. To make the process easier, Dritz® has made an easy-to-install nailhead trim that we’ll show you how to install in a quick video.
What makes this decorative nailhead trim unique is that all the nailheads are connected in one long trim piece and a real tack is nailed in every five nailheads to secure the trim to your furniture piece. This reduces your hammering and also keeps your decoration in a perfectly neat row. It also is much faster to install nailhead trim than hammering in each individual nailhead. Unlike individual nailheads, there is a visible connection between the faux nailheads, which could be an aesthetic drawback depending on your application.
See this trim in action in our demonstration video below. You'll be amazed at how quickly we install this prefabricated nailhead trim to our upholstery piece.
You can find this quick nailhead trim in three finishes right here at Sailrite®! If you prefer the look of traditional individual nailheads, we also have a selection of decorative nails for your upholstery needs.
