I have 2 small leather-covered benches that I would like to add rows of individual nailheads to. Does anyone know how to do this neatly, so that it will look uniform?

Got to a local fabric shop that carries upholstery supplies. In the upholstery supplies you chould be able to buy a strip like nail heads that just needs tacking every so often. Tacking one nail at a time is time consuming and can be hard to do without lots of practice.

Oh yeah! The strip will take a regular upholstery nail every so often so the strip will not slip up.

If you have a store that sells upholstery fabrics, they may be able to help or give you information.
