Making the headboard



My friend Amber inspired me to finally make a headboard. All it took was a piece of wood, fabric, stuffing and a staple gun. I’m quite happy with how it turned out. I just mounted it on my wall like a picture, which was quite a bit easier than messing with the bed frame.

Hi, you dont know me but I was just browsing through blogs and came across yours. I would really love to do a headboard like this (when i get my own place). yours looks really nice. I dont understand how you do the little button things all over it. i'd really love to know. ps- feel free to check out my blog sometime. i just started it. it doesnt really have a direction yet... http://girlsnightinblog.blogspot.com/

I just used regular screws to create the pucker and then glued buttons on top.

You are so crafty! I love it. I have been shopping for matching twin beds for the girls...now I'm thinking that would be so fun to do for their room (and tons cheaper!). Were the corners hard to do?
