ABSTRACT:
A decorative cover for the head of a nail and other simlar fasteners used in the carpentry and upholstery trades. Ordinary nails can prove unsightly when used on particular works. The invention is a decorative cover which utilizes a slot to attach the cover to the head of a standard nail. The decorative cover is of any shape and color desired, thereby offering limitless design possibilities. After attachment of the invention to the nail head, the nail is driven into the body of work with no adverse effects on the cover. The invention, then, allows the aesthetic characteristics of a body of work to be enhanced without sacrificing the utilitarian characteristics of the nail.
