A cardboard tack strip is a great way to add extra support to upholstery projects. You can use it on furniture, cushions, or even on the back of a quilt. Cardboard tack strip is easy to use and made from extra-strength cardboard.
A tack strip is a thin piece of wood or metal with sharp tacks sticking out. Use it to attach upholstery to a frame, such as a chair or a sofa.
