- Hi! I'm Aja Dang this video is a super EASY DIY on how to turn cardboard boxes into luxurious and fabulous headboards! This easy tutorial will allow you to take a $2,000 headboard idea (from Mandy Moore's house tour btw) into an affordable do it yourself headboard. This is super budget friendly as I only spent $300 on supplies and it was a great, beautiful way to update my bedroom.

Idk where she bought that fabric but this can be done for waay cheaper than almost $400. Even w good quality fabric. That being said the result was very pretty and she worked hard at it im glad she’s happy w it.
I thought for a second you had like 5 dogs running around but then I realised it was a mirror 😂
I wish there were 5 dogs. What's better than that? Nothing, that's what.
Naomi Duque me too 🤣
Three poodles is still a lot! But they're adorable!
Me too
I appreciate your tutorial. I especially love the fact that you featured my Havanese Maximilian Bucks Sayre.
I dont need any other tutorials now. It looks so good, and the idea of having it go to the floor is smart too, even if its more fabric. Because then it can stand by itself.
LOVE the look of the green against the patterned wall - gorgeous choice!
Love love LOVE the wallpaper and green velvet and the way they contrast. Beautiful! The headboard gives me major Scarlett O’Hara curtain dress vibes 💚
This is so cute and the result is really elegant. The fact you used cardboard isn't just clever (and super affordable/achievable) but also really smart. The headboard is really just decoration after all and just needs enough structural integrity to stay up. Great work!
I know Im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Skylar Marcus Instablaster ;)
@Drake Kason thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Drake Kason It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
@Skylar Marcus happy to help :)
Mandy Moore’s home interior is also my inspo for my furure house! Thanks Aja for showing us that we can also achieve it quite easily! Can’t wait to see your finished room!! ☺️
This looks so so good. That wallpaper and color/fabric combo is EVERYTHING
Loved the tip about where to get cardboard boxes from!! I never would have thought of that! Thanks for the video!
That color choice was absolutely beautiful
I love that he modeled your amazing work w his hands while laying in the bed
Wow! Now that is so beautiful and inspiring !!! LOVE
Absolutely BRILLIANT!
A Wild imagination is free of charge☺👍
I am SO doing this!!! I LOVE velvet!! Thank you for the demo!!
totally influenced my outlook towards how to decor :3 LOVE THESE DECOR DIYs!!
Good job Aja! That wall paper is the bomb!
One of the best DIY projects I've seen👍👍👍
thanks!
I love the inspiration, the green is stunning yet soothing. Green needs more appreciation for sure! Not a fan of the cardboard if I’m being honest, instead a manageable plywood as the sturdy base would’ve, for myself, been preferred. But that aside, I love the green separated pillowy puffs as a background against your phenomenal wallpaper! Literally took my breath away when you revealed it! If I try this I think, I’ll go with plywood backing and a 1x2 or thicker board like 1x4 frame surrounding each rectangle, not sure if I’d stain the wood dark or try for a lovely green accent that’s either stained or painted. If you chose a frame you could rip the plywood to size, add the batting/foam, lay the fabric over and use the frame to help secure it all to the plywood.
Excited for the room tour !!
Loved this!! You go girl!!!! Totally something I would do myself ❤️💕
Excuse the miss spelling last post... fat fingers small key board.Lol
This was a Great DIY explaining how to and where to get the cardboard.
I love the separate panels making such a large span doable and creates squared individual panels much more interesting. Can't wait to try this a little higher up...And maybe some buttons in the middle of each panel...simple but quite elegant velvet headboard Thanks again!
Looks awesome
Well done!! That's a pretty color! Gonna look great Aja!
Yaaaasss!! MacGyver that ish!! This looks like fun. I don't need a new headboard, but this gives me an idea for a Fall project for my place.
This is beautiful!
Thank you for his diy. Mine came out great for my first attempt. 😊😊
I love this diy and the outcome!💜
Love the headboard
Girl u did that! I love it!!😍😍😍
you inspiration image was the exact same one i was looking for a diy on here for! didn't even think of using cardboard for the back!
I LOVE YOU AJAAA. And your positive vibes
thank thank thanks much! definitely a game changer and i will be doing this soon.
This was a Great DIY to show of his simple this can be done. You achieved what you wanted from this.
A great starting point, to add tufted, squared tufted etc..
For those wanting cheaper...The head board did not need to go all the way to the floor if you want to save $. And night stands cover that area if you have them. In reality the head board is very low if he was sitting up his head would be over the top?
thanks for 'll the great insight in making the cardboard frame!
Stunning!!
Love the wallpaper!
Exactly what I was looking easy and cheap. I won’t spend that much on the fabric. I love it
That wallpaper girl 🙌🙌
Too brilliant!
Looks great!
Super cool!
Awesome!! 😍
I'd have used some thin osb or mdf boards if it was going to end up costing hundreds anyways! Looks great though!
Looks good. I want that wallpaper.
nice! cant wait for an apt tour
Love DIYs 👍🏾
I loved this! Looks amazing and easy to do,,
I thought of using pallets and put the padding on.
thanks for this, gonna make a cloud headboard with this technique!
Very creative, artsy, and frugal project Aja! How about doing it with a wood frame (hardware store can cut wood pieces to your desired measure) and just wrapped the fabric around it to create a more sturdy and symmetrical design. I am an artist and used to staple canvas on wood which can be created in the same manner with fabric to create headboards, and if you know how to paint you can create designs with acrylic paints on the canvas or fabric to create personalized paintings of your liking. Just an idea in case the cardboard does not last or becomes loose with time.
I LOVE IT!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏💃
Great job!!! I love it, I just would have placed
it a little bit higher so that the beautiful fabric and stand out a little more against the white
pillow 👍!!!
Your wall is amazing what stencil did you use ?
i love it
Hot damn!! That is a great idea 💚💚
Very cool!
Thank you for doing this video. It has given me thought for the 'VANT' system that they sell for about £250 - £300 per 4 slats (and that is small) you would need a few thousand pounds/dollars to do a decent headboard with the 'VANT' system - now I can DIY my own with cardboard. My issue was how to do my own and put on the wall - now I have the answer!
Thank you for this video 😊
I love it! Yes, the cost of the fabric got me BUT it's still 200 cheaper than if I were to purchase a headboard I actually liked. I was shown one for 550! No thanks! The fabric you picked is exquisite! Just gorgeous!
230 for fabric?!
Hollyanne Hawkhead girrllll that number gave me heart palpitations!
I would've just brought a headboard at that price lol
However she did a wonderful job.
That’s why I said I’m doing this! But I’m doing for cheap I
Exactly!!! you can buy new headboard for $200!!!!
I mean its good for the environment but holy fuck. I wouldnt even spend 100 for a headboard let alone 400 just go second hand if you care about recycling
You can just go to the thrift store they always have lots of fabric or things you can use as fabric for super cheap. Plus your saving the environment
Subbed! Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
Good idea 👍
I love your boyfriend's modeling of the finished product😂
Yeah, he's the best part of the video! Woof!
that glow up tho...upcycling in its truest form
This is a money saver !!!!!! But I’m gonna do this for a whole lot cheaper ! You did that
yes you can absolutely get way cheaper fabric for this!
How long was Brian waving? I think his arm was getting tired by the way he changed up the wave.
Thank you
Thank you for this I will make this in my condo in the philippines
I absolutely love this style and the DIY. Where did you get the wallpaper from?

Beautiful ,

Wayfair
what brand staple gun are you using?
How many yards did you use?
How many yards of fabric did you need?
Could I use Styrofoam instead og cardboard? I've got some big pieces laying around.
What kind of dog do you have? My dog looks very similar but she’s a light brown color. I rescued her and trying to figure her breed out.
That is sooo awesome! Where did you get wallpaper from?!

Looks great! I’d probably use plywood and not cardboard so it’s sturdier.
Christina Nelson it’s sturdy enough for me
I wood have used wood, cockroaches and silverfish love eating cardboard boxes. Looks amazing tho
melissa wenham 🤮🤢
Aja, do you think your masters or undergrad helped you in any way to the point you are right now? I'm currently entering the third year of my undergrad for psychology, and I honestly don't know if I should be going into grad school or even complete my undergrad... My university is very expensive and I don't know if I'll land a good job after undergrad with this psychology degree. I'm not sure what to do, what do you think? I know it seems like a bit of a waste to not continue with my undergrad, but I don't really even enjoy psychology and I'm not doing too well in it either. I was thinking of taking a year off, but I don't think my parents would be too happy about that. I would really appreciate your advice!
Simran Pahwa can I share my input? Get a degree in either nursing or engineering. It will be so difficult to get a job that pays a decent wage for a B.S. in psychology. You’ll have to go to a doctorate level in psychology to make a good living. Avoid gap years, transfer to a cheaper university, get loads of internships in this field, build connections because there will be no jobs waiting for you! You’ll have to hustle through 500 applicants for one job to get an entry level position. Then, there are layoffs and you’ll have to start from the beginning.. I guess you could work as a social worker but the pay is not great either. Good luck! 🍀
$300 you could’ve just bought the inspiration one. Turned out nice tho
Love love love |||| BUT PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT OUTLET, you should not plug anything into it and should just get a outlet cover, and one day it can spark and the bed can catch on fire.
I’m saying this cuz this is how my friend lost their house, he ran into the room trying to stop the fire but couldn’t, and since it was a king size bed the fire became huge which let to the whole house catching on fire and he lost everything. NEVER PUT FABRIC very close to outlets no matter wat. Love and Peace ✌🏾
