Upholstering the headboard went a little something like this...
We got really really lucky and some friends right down the road had an extra headboard just lying around. I know. What are the chances? We had already planned that we were going to make the headboard ourselves and priced out the plywood at $75. I would suggest stalking Craigslist and I think you could find something cheaper and would save a lot of annoying sawing if you are wanting a specific shape.
(Thank you Jaime and Harry! You have no idea how miserable my life would have been listening to Doug try and make this.)
Next, I got some material to cover the stripes so it would not show through the fabric I chose.
Staple here...staple there.
nothing fancy.
Wah-lah. Headboard done. Easiest thing ever even though we cheated. I love it. I think I am moving into the guest bedroom so I can hold it and cuddle every night.
So cool Jessie! You make it look so easy.
ReplyDeleteI make it look easy because it would be really hard to make stapling look hard.
