Inspired by the ever so elegant and dare I say pricey designer headboards out there, I decided to make one! It’s been a dream of mine to have an upholstered headboard… So over the labor day weekend, my ever-so-supportive hubby and I, tackled the task to see how competent we could be in making our very own headboard… In the end, we both realized how easy it was to do, and we felt so proud of what we accomplished…
1. The first step you need a frame… There are many types of options, just pick one you think would work best for you. You may use canvas board, a piece of plywood, or make a frame, as you see my husband doing so in this picture… We bought a piece of wood at our local Lowe’s and he framed it all the wall around to create a nice, solid and sturdy piece that creates an area to place our frame on the wall (shown in picture below). Other materials you need: staple gun, batting, and of course fabric.
What a great idea and so elegant! You make it look so much easier than I thought. ~Jan
thanks Jan! You are so sweet! It was really fun to do! 🙂
