  • If you haven't seen the $10 Ottoman tutorial:
    • $10 Ottoman-Coffee Tab...
    ****WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS VERY LENGTHY! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND YOU CAN ALWAYS FAST FORWARD PAUSE AND REWIND (w/o making comments letting me know that it's to long Thanks).
    In this video I'll show you how to make a $10 headboard using a thrifted wood from a twin bed. Hope you enjoy!
    Materials needed- may vary depending on what you have on hand.
    Wood-(I'm using wood left over from a twin size bed)
    Fabric
    Scissors
    Staple Gun/Staples/Glue Gun
    Hammer-optional
    Batting/Foam
    Tip: When searching for materials to make your creation think crafty, use items that may have other purposes and most of all have fun!
    OPTIONS FOR HANGING:
    If you're doing the tufted options you can just drill it directly into the wall where the tufts would be and glue your button on top of it. Or you can mount it like you would a big picture. If you have a local craft store in your area visit it to see if they have something like that in the picture framing area. Make sure if you use those to get one that can take the weight of your headboard. Or you can buy a french cleat which I usually purchased from Lowe's or Home Depot! Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by!

    My daughter and I made a king sized headboard using a leftover half sheet of half inch plywood, some leftover quilt batting, a recycled foam from a twin size cot and a king size comforter which was enough to cover the front and back of the headboard.
    Great video.

    thank you for your tutorial. The negative comments are unnecessary. If it's too long, fast forward or move on. some people are miserable.

      Chris Chrisopherson what are you actually supporting? The negativity or the fact that she doesn't have the right to defend the demographic if that's what she was in fact doing? Because at the end of the day all she said was negative comments are unnecessary

      Queen OfNY I’m not miserable. I’m a viewer with opinions. So sick of fan girl illiterates with an IQ of a wombat slinging out “you just jealous” or “you just hate your life” whenever non-bashing criticism is lobbed at someone who posts a blog or vlog. The caption read as a tutorial - not tutorial and a day in my life rundown. A little intro is expected but not half the video. If she can’t handle the criticism, she should post to just her friends on FB. Then you could “friend” her and your universe feel complete.

    Thanks for the idea. I think what you are doing for the shelters in Atlanta is awesome. I don't know if you've worked with PADV but they help so many abused women and children. But as I'm sure you know their locations are never disclosed and under signed contract with legal ramifications. Thanks for the idea. I need a cheap headboard for and extra room and this is perfect.

    If you dont have a stapler you could just attach the fabric to the board with upholstery tacks and a hammer. If you have enough material left over cut a piece for the back of the board to so its completely covered that way nobody knows what its made from and makes for a neater finish.
