In previous videos we have shown you how to grid out your diamonds on both your foam and fabric and how to drill out the holes for your buttons. So in this video we show you how to deep button the headboard. We show you how we fold the fabric to make the diamonds and pull our buttons through and attach them on the back of the board.

You will learn how to dress your pleats and how to make sure there is no excess fabric in the diamonds so there are no ripples.
