DIY ~ Headboard

Today I have another DIY for you all! :)
When I posted our new bedroom photos, I promised to do a tutorial on how to make our headboard!!!

We don't have a fancy bedroom set, and to be honest, as nice as they are, they are way overpriced. Plus, you know me...I love mismatched and vintage.

Anyhoo...I made us a new headboard to finish off my bedroom makeover. :)

SUPPLIES:

~ sheet of plywood cut to the size you want for your headboard. {I made mine go from the top of our baseboards right to the curve in our ceiling, then about 6 inches wider on each side of our bed.}

~ thin piece of wood to put on back as supports for hanging later

~ foam

~ durable fabric 

~ staple gun and staples

~ drill

~ buttons {optional}

STEP 1: Get your DH {Darling Husband} to cut you plywood to the size you would like. 

 STEP 2: Lock your puppies in jail when he is playing with the saw cord LOL

STEP 3: Mount the smaller pieces of wood {I used 1 x 4's} on the back for easy hanging later.

STEP 4: Lay foam over the whole board so that it wraps on either side a little. 

STEP 5: Cover the whole board and foam with your fabric stretching and stapling it on the back. 

STEP 8: Get you DH to hang your headboard!!!! :) 

STEP 9: Enjoy your new padded headboard! 

Cheers,
Messy
