DIY Headboard

This project only took me about 15 minutes and it totally transformed the look of my room.  I have always wanted a headboard but they can be really expensive and other DIY projects were a little intimidating (we're talking woodwork here, people), so this was the perfect project for me.

Materials Needed:
1 Large canvas (size depends of the size of your bed),
Enough fabric to cover that canvas,
Hot glue gun.

First iron the fabric so that it is free of wrinkles and creases.  Then stretch the fabric taut over the canvas and glue the fabric to the wooden frame of the backside of the canvas.  *It helps to glue piece by piece so that the glue doesn't cool and the fabric stays taut over the canvas.  Then simply hang the canvas at the head of your bed.

Here is my bed pre-headboard...


And now with the headboard...



Sweet Dreams!
