I have been needing a new headboard for some time and I figured why not make one myself? This project was around $50 compared to over $300 HUGE difference!

You Will Need (1 thing)

  • Wood

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    First measure your mattress width and decide how large you want your headboard to be. I used painters tape to help me determine how large I wanted it to be.

    For a full size bed I got a piece of plywood that measured 2 feet by 4.9 feet

  2. 2

    You will need a piece of high density foam the same size as your plywood as well as enough batting and fabric to cover BOTH the plywood and foam.

  3. 3

    Using spray adhesive attach your foam to your piece of plywood. Next use a staple gun to wrap the batting Around the board from the foam side.

    Repeat step with the fabric of your choice. I used an upholstery fabric that was only $5 a yard! Steal!

    The picture will hopefully help all you visual people.

    Mount on the wall and enjoy your new headboard that you made yourself!
