You Took Our Tiny Binding Challenge!

March 5, 2018 By Naseem

The Hog Ring - You Took Our Tiny Binding Challenge

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Tiny Binding Challenge on Instagram!

Based on a private back-and-forth between Brian Willingham of BW Upholstery and Ricky Howard of Interiors by Shannon, we challenged The Hog Ring community to see who could bind a dime-sized hole in vehicle carpet.

Auto trimmers across the United States rose to the occasion, and even put their own spin on the assignment. Below are some of our favorites!

I see what you guys are up to! @brianwillstitch_az @built_by_r1cky @santanainteriordesign @thehogring

Every trimmer who participated in the challenge — no matter how well they pulled it off — got a FREE limited-edition The Hog Ring sticker mailed to them!

We had so much fun, we might just make challenges a regular feature of our community. So definitely keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

Until then, we’ll catch you on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or our Auto Upholstery Forum.
