DIY Project:: How To Make An Upholstered Headboard With A Wood Frame

When I was trying to finalize the design for the upholstered back on my banquette seat, I spent about two hours one evening looking at headboards online. Upholstered headboards are so incredibly popular right now, and while I knew that, I was still a bit surprised at how many different styles there are available today. Of course, most of them also have a pretty high price tag.

Since I needed a non-standard size, with custom colors--and my budget is miniscule--I naturally had to make my own. The one that influenced my design the most was this one I found on Overstock.com.


Of course in the end, I ended up doing my buttons and tufting a bit different from the ones shown in the picture, but the overall look is still very similar.





So anywhoooo...

I have written a the DIY instructions for making this headboard. It took forever, so I really hope some of you can get some use out of them!! And if you decide to try your hand at making your own, I'd love to see it! You can send photos to me at addicted2decorating[at]live.com or you can upload them to the Addicted 2 Decorating Facebook fan page.
