Take the Tiny Binding Challenge!

February 26, 2018 By Naseem

The Hog Ring - Take the Tiny Binding Challenge

Two of our favorite auto trimmers, Brian Willingham of BW Upholstery and Ricky Howard of Interiors by Shannon, recently challenged each other to bind a dime-sized hole in vehicle carpet.

Not an easy task, but the fellas pulled it off with mind-blowing precision and expertise.

We saw the photos they posted on Instagram and were curious how many other trimmers could do it.

So let’s find out… Take the Tiny Binding Challenge!

Bind a coin-size hole in a vehicle carpet, post the photo to Instagram, tag @TheHogRing and use the hashtag #TinyBindingChallenge.

Every trimmer who participates in the challenge — no matter how well you pull it off — gets a FREE limited-edition The Hog Ring sticker!

The challenge ends Friday, March 2. Open to U.S. residents only.
