We have a great statement piece of furniture and enjoyed the time partaking in the project together. Guide the button deep into the hole with your fingers while pulling the thread taut in the back. After you have traced, re-measure making sure your measurements all line up. I was thinking of slip covering it, but after seeing your new headboard I may just try my hand at making a whole new one for us. I had a sheet of plywood for it leftover from a remodel, until my husband used it on the ground to get his truck out of the backyard mud... sigh.It looks AWESOME, Sarah! Take a look at my room...I even put a link to your tutorial on my blog!
I've been researching for awhile as well and your tutorial is great. I "found" a piece of plywood, framed, in brand new condition out for trash pick-up in a very nice neighborhood. And now it sounds fairly easy. I can't wait to see your daughter's room!

You can do this with either one or two drilled holes, depending on what you decided. Great tip!Wow! We have a CAL King bed with NO headboard and I hate that we don't have one. How a headboard can add so much to a room! Using a sharpie trace out your pattern on the wood, button holes as well. I am seriously considering making a fabric headboard for my Master Bedroom re-do.

I LOVE it! It looks amazing! I'm inspired!I love it! I love that you did it for under $100- amazing! I'm not sure how sturdy it would be if the fabric doesn't have something to grab to in the middle, but it would probably look good! So you can use a hand stapler, tough on the hand, or the kind with an air compressor. I made a headboard, using yours as inspiration. Recently, I saw a blogger use peg board instead of MDF. I am poised to make a headboard myself, just as soon as I finish my list of projects in the living room. I can just see myself drilling holes and hanging hooks and then the darn thing is crooked!

So in my case it’s not only the people who help you hang it that will see the back:)) Thanks for the tutorial!So many great hints in this post.

You need it loose in order to create the pleats once you work on the diagonal holes. Lucky daughter to have this in her room!I LOVE this project!! I hope that helps, good luck! Thanks for sharing.Amazing!

I also love the duvet cover?

I hung it up to decide and then the lazy bones set in and I never took it back down.


;-) Thanks! (I used camping foam - much cheaper than ordering it from a fabric or upholstery shop)Using an exacto knife, sharp scissors or an electric carving knife; cut out the foam using the edges of your headboard as a guide.

I just made cushions for my outdoor sofa and spent a fortune on the petroleum based foam. I've always been afraid of tufting but you make me feel like this just may be possible! I had typically chosen my batting by the yard from the fabric store, but one day while looking for party supplies in Wal-Mart, I happened to notice their quilt batting!

I am going to try this for my guest room.Holy crap, that's quite the process! Alternately, you can attach "legs" to the headboard and screw the "legs" to the boxspring bed frame if you are using one. I wanted to reupholster my couch and found out electric staple guns don't have the force necessary to staple into hardwood or thicker plywood. I'm on it!

Thanks for sharing!Looks amazing!!! Or, if you're feeling crafty, you can make a tufted headboard yourself. I used a spray adhesive to get the pads on there -- stapling them would make them pucker a bit, you know? I'd like to try it myself, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough yet.Amazing! The cost was a bit higher than yours at $150, but considerably less expensive than purchasing one. Mattress pad instead of foam...DUH! Measure and attach 1×4’s to the back of the headboard with screws. You did a great job. I haven't ever made my own headboard, but I have recovered a tufted headboard. Love all the gray!Oh my, what a gorgeous job you did on this headboard! It's nice that we both did a very similar feature for Christine's blog, Bijou and Boheme. Never thought of using bed padding...hmmm! This ensures that the thread won't slip out and loosen. I will actually be attempting a headboard later on this summer.

It is good to see you verbalize from the heart and clarity on this important subject can be easily observed... Diamond tufting is unique as the tufts are deep, creating beautiful pleats giving upholstery a luxurious finish. It looks amazing! I added an extra row of staples in the back to help the fabric lay flat, then trimmed any excess fabric and batting. Love the fabric you chose! Thank you so much, you did an amazing job!Thank you! How far apart are the drilled holes for the tufting? Although I'm not sure which was harder to do - making the headboard or writing about making the headboard!This is gorgeous! It's simple, thanks to these instructions!I want to thank you for this very detailed post! I would love to see an example of one finished and tutorial! Might have to give this a try..... Wow I am loving this! Love the fabric, tufting and shape. Which is what I need! )Lay the sheet of wood on a work surface where you can cut freely.

It's great, but I'm ready for something lighter.

Maybe we are hanging-impaired :) Thanks.This look beautiful! I may add it to my list of DIY projects for next week, since it is my last week of summer before our school year starts and I really want to get some projects completed!I love that you used suit fabric, it looks so classy. i've been toying with the idea of trying this and i think you've convinced me. We made ours in a similar shape, but without the tufting. I tried tufting with thread and could never get the look I liked so I finally used screws and washers and then glued my covered buttons on. Maybe more?
