You Took Our Tiny Binding Challenge!

March 5, 2018 By Nadeem Muaddi

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!

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.
