Super Easy DIY Headboard
Okay bare with me folks!
This may have been an easy project, but
it can be slightly difficult to explain.
Enjoy the picture below while I begin to ramble on about the making process.

Okay, so to start off...
1. We got a hunk of plywood/chipboard and cut it to size
2. Accumulated some 1x4s and cut them to measure up to the board
3. Then we stapled those babies on there
This step is shown below
After the 1x4 border was stapled on the board...
1. We coated the upper half in foam
(bought at Walmart for I forget how much)
2. We stapled that foam on there like nobody's business
(We didn't do the bottom half because it would be unnecessary)
This whole process is shown below
The next step was to add the fabric...
1. Iron the fabric
2. Lay the fabric on the board and staple away
3. We started stapling the bottom of the fabric first
(the we could pull it tightly over the top and staple it there second
4. Staple everything into place
5. Cut existing fabric off and do more stapling if needed.
After this step...
1. My husband drilled two holes into each side of the headboard
(at the bottom so it would attach like a regular headboard)
2. Forgot to take a picture of this step
3. Then he put some bolts or nuts or something like that in the board
4. The "we" attached the headboard to the bed
(just like you would attach any another headboard)
5. Don't ask me how "we" attached it
I think my husband did some magic on it or something
The finished product once again
The picture truly doesn't do justice,
to how much it made a difference to our room
