Description

A simple and cheap pallet wood headboard, perfect for offcuts or old pieces.

Instructions

1. 

   Here, you can see that I recycled some old sheet material. Then screwed a long straight edge in the middle, before gluing and nailing mitred pallet wood strips on.

2. 

   Then trimmed the excess off. To repeat on the other side, I removed the middle bit, and screwed more pallets to match.

3. 

   After trimming the excess again, I belt sanded all the wood smooth .

4. 

   Then painted contrasting colours using an array of test pots before adding trim and mounting to the wall.
