$20 Plush DIY Headboard

DIY tufted headboard. Super easy to make with the faux tufts and all for under $20!
So, I've gotten a lot of emails about this headboard and I want you all to know it so easy to do on your own!

The cost of this was roughly under $20.
Supplies:
  • Plywood...I forget the exact measurement but it was about 54"x40something, just enough to cover the end of your bed.
  • 2x4 - in two pieces - preferably same length
  • Screws
  • Batting - I wanted this ultra plush, so I did two layers of about 2" batting around the whole thing securing it to the back of the plywood
  • Fabric - white is a tricky color - its usually see through or ultra expensive to get non-see through, but I found out a trick! Ready for it???? Drapery lining. It's only $5/yard...and if you have a coupon: $2.50! Can't beat that.
  • Staple gun/Staples
  • Bling/buttons for tufting
You can get the rest of the How-To at this post.
