DIY Headboard

Headboards are awesome.

You know what's even more awesome?  Headboards that you make yourself.  That's right.  Matt and I made a headboard for our guest room bed.  We already had the frame (thanks Dad!) and bought foam, batting, fabric and a staple gun.  Seriously, this is all you need to create your own headboard and provide a dramatic change to any room.

One old headboard

Some good old foam (found at any fabric or craft store)

Fabric!  A queen size bed usually calls for 2 yards

Wrap the headboard with foam

Put batting over the foam to hold it in place

Wa-la!

On to the fabric

And the finished product!

Looks awesome, huh!?

Let's take a look at everything put together...

Closer? Alright!

Still can't see?  This may help!

And then we used the leftover fabric for some picture frames

This room has definitely come a long way since...

We still need to buy more decor (vases, wall frames, etc.), but it's looking fabulous!
