Headboard/DIY

I got very inspired with the folks of "This young House". I am finally done with my Guest bedroom, I really just needed a headboard:

So here is what I did:

*I went to an actual art supply store and got canvas stretchers, I measured my bed and for a queen size 60x35 was perfect.
That only cost me $28.

* Then I went to Joann's and picked up Batting, the thicker kind, and fabric.
Note: I did 2 layers of badding on my own headboard.
That cost me $22.

Go home and have fun, have a glass of wine while at it or whichever alcoholic beverage of your choice.

Remember to use your staple gun.

Then go to home depot or a hardware store and buy the hooks to hang the frame. Hang it like a picture. The back of the bed should support the headboard.

Total price, about $50 buckaroos.

Here are my pics...you can use it kinda like a guide.

Hope you like it.
