Textile Tuesday: that's tuft

Tufting is a method in which a covered button (usually in matching fabric to the main) is threaded through a piece of furniture, allowing the fabric to pucker for added detail. While found in more traditional pieces, here are a few fun modern applications for your decorating pleasure.
