You're about to learn how to make your very own padded headboard. This is a terrific way to give yourself a new bed without paying thousands of dollars.

This project is super easy and it's amazing how good your bed will look with a padded headboard in the fabric that matches your decor.

So lets get started!

Supplies

1/4" plywood board measuring the width of your bed x 48" (have your hardware store cut it for you)
(4) 5-foot 1"x3" boards (For a twin and queen bed, you can get away with 3 boards)
1" flat head screws (I used #6 screws)
4 yards of face fabric
high loft batting (you want a piece larger than your plywood measurements
1/2" - 1" thick foam (the same dimensions as your plywood... you may need 2 packages)
1 roll of 1/2" wide Steam-A-Steam2 double adhesive tape.
Staple gun and staples
Iron and ironing board
Sharp fabric scissors
Measuring tape
Drill
Adhesive (Ask you hardware store for an adhesive to stick foam to wood)
Utility knife (to cut the foam
