Give your furniture or DIY project a professional, finished look with these classic gold upholstery tacks! This pack from uxcell gives you 100 pieces, which is plenty for most projects like re-upholstering a chair seat, adding decorative trim to a headboard, bench, or wooden chest, or even securing fabric to a craft project.\n\nThey have a classic round head with a gold tone finish (made of iron). The dimensions are perfect for detail work: the head is about 8mm (0.31 inches) in diameter, and the total tack height is about 10mm (0.39 inches). They're also sometimes called 'thumb push pins' because you can theoretically push them in by hand, but for best results into wood or furniture, we recommend using a tool.\n\nInstallation tip: For safety and ease, use a pair of pliers to hold the tack and a rubber mallet or a small tack hammer to tap it in. Don't use a huge hammer, as it can bend the tack. They're designed mainly for decorative purposes and light holding on suitable materials – they'll nail into wood but usually only penetrate surface layers like filler or softer wood.\n\nThey can also be used on cork boards to hold up notes or pictures. A versatile, affordable box of hardware that can totally transform the look of a plain piece into something with vintage or rustic charm. Just remember to handle with care and use the right tools!
