A Place to Rest My Head

I have been talking about this headboard for a while, and I finally made it! Joann’s had a sale on foam, 50% off! The regular price is $30 a yard, and I used two yards for this project.

I ordered the fabric from Etsy and I got the plywood from Home Depot. I started the process by cutting the foam to size and placing it on the plywood to make sure the size was correct.

Once all the measurements were good I placed the batting on the floor, then put the foam on that and the plywood on top. Then I stapled the batting to the plywood.

At this point I laid out my fabric and centered the batting wrapped plywood on it and stapled the fabric to the plywood. Here is the final piece!

Here is the headboard on the wall.

Do you have a headboard on your bed? Would you consider making one?

Peace and blessings,
