Tufted

Darlings my latest project craze is to work on a tufted chair or ottoman.  I fell in love with the chair from my last post and have decided I need something tufted in my new book nook.  Mac actually brought home a great mid-century chair yesterday that would be perfect to reupholster and tuft but I have the feeling he's not going to sacrifice it. Anyone ever done any DIY tufting?  I found these little tips from Little Green Notebook as a starter.
