I've been told quite a bit how cute our headboard is and I love it I have to say. Awhile back when we made it I posted a DIY on my old blog about it. Since then we have moved into another house and our bed has received a cute makeover, but one thing remains the same the headboard. So I though I would post the DIY on here and give you a look. Now these pictures aren't the best, I pretty much had no clue how to take good photos back then, but it'll give you the gist.
Our bed before hand
Home Depot cut the plywood for us to size we have a king bed, they suggested we use pine. We did and it turned out perfectly.
What you'll need
-2 inch foam also cut to size
-Canvas drop cloth, yes that's right drop cloth. I was having trouble finding fabric on a sale and we really wanted this to be budget friendly. The drop cloth is not the best shade of canvas but it turned out perfectly!
-Staple gun and staples
-Nail trim
-Adhesive spray
-Wood screws
-2X4's
Step 1) First spray the wood with the adhesive spray
Step 2) Place the foam on the wood
Step 3) Wrap the cloth on the wood, the staple it to the wood.
Step 4) This nail trim was perfect it was on a chain and you nailed in every three nails.
What it looked like when we flipped it over
Step 5) Attach wood to attach it too the bed.
End result a new bed for less then $200!
Whoot Whoot!
