I found out that it was all as easy as it looks except getting the fabric around the curves...whew! I was left with minimal creases around the cruves, but I think it still looks awesome and my daughter is so excited! All in all My costs were: Plywood: $0 ( my dad had a scrap piece & my uncle cut it for free) Foam: $14 ( had some left over for another project too!) yay! Batting: $less than $4 Spray adhesive$ 5 Fabric: less than $20 (1 1/2 yards) Total: about $43.00!! Ps, I used 1. 1/2in thick foam and it cut perfectly with regular scissors! Time: about 2 hours, that's with two toddlers trying to help! I just made a twin size headboard from your video!

I made a similar shape but found it very difficult to upholster the fabric around the curves of the headboard without creating wrinkles in the fabric or uneven areas. Did you cut your fabric at all when upholstering? If you have any tips for working with curvy shapes and corners I'd really appreciate it! Thank you! I love this headboard!

I didn't do that with mine so I'm afraid I can't speak from experience but I bet YouTube would have a few tutorials that would be helpful. :) Grace Krystal

Any suggestions?

By far the best DIY upholstered headboard video ever. I really wanted an upholstered bed (king size) but it cost more than I'm willing to spend. So I think a headboard is the best choice for my pocket. Since I want a king size headboard do you know how much I need to alter the headboard dimensions? I'm thinking I need to add 2-3 inches all around. Love, love, love this post. By far the best DIY upholstered headboard video ever.
