This project all started when I spied these cute letters at Hobby Lobby, covered in burlap with a nailhead trim border. That got me to thinking, “How cool would that look on a piece of furniture?!” After diving into some research, I realized I was a bit late to this party. Although it is still relatively new, there are already tons of cool DIY pieces with burlap or fabric and nailhead trim. I knew I still wanted to tackle this idea in my own way and after browsing tons of images, I got even more inspired. Houzz has the best stuff, and that’s where I got most of my inspiration.

Wow, this is really cool. I would have never thought to actually but a design into the nail heads. Great job.

Thanks, Ashley! It was a pain in the butt, but worth it in the end.

WOW, talk about a labor of love! I suck at getting those nails in straight too and had read about using cardboard to line them up but haven’t tried it yet because I keep getting impatient and thinking I’ll get the next one straight…um not so much haha. Good call on the Samoas those are my fave girl scout cookies and nothing like a little cookie motivation to get a project done 🙂
Pinned! Thanks for sharing at The Makers!

Thanks, Katie! Those little nails are tricky but keep practicing! The end result is always worth it, and cookies always help 🙂
