"tufting" ottoman

[Anonymous]

Is it possible to make my existing cushioned storage ottoman tufted on the top? I'm not a hugely creative person and have never used the tools or materials for this kind of a project. Most tutorials online show how to do it from scratch.

It's a nice piece, a neutral microfiber. Sits at the end of our bed. But I can't help but think how nice it would look with a tufted diamond-pattern on it.

Anyone have experience with this?

Depends on whether you can get at the back of the upholstery. Google "mock tufting" and see if any of those techniques would work.

OP here. Thank you so much. I did just that. Found some great ideas, including using tufting twine or even a staple gun. Appreciate your reply.
