    Love the headboard!
    It is great just how you made it, and I can also imagine it made with a variety of straps and colors, and even variations on the weave.
    It could be made with black going vertically and white horizontally - or any two colors - for a checkerboard look.
    It could be made in a herringbone weave.
    It could be made with wide cotton straps for a boho look.
    It's good as a headboard or as a decorative piece.

    @nilakshiroy6 Před 3 lety +1

    Loved it all Drew ! Great fun for us older people with loadsa time on our hands and not much dexterity, nor much access to power tools! Not much bother too, but very very useful and pretty, beginners DIY kind of. And very, very relaxing and fulfilling at the end of the day, I imagine. My daughter is coming to crash at ours for a few months before her fellowship takes her away elsewhere, so maybe her room can do with a temporary fix like this made by her mum!

  • @adrianaacosta3832
    @adrianaacosta3832 Před 3 lety +1

    The towel hack is adorable😊🌸 I never thought of that, hmm it would be a good idea for curtains as well. The headboard is gorgeous too, the color and tones of the bedding combined😍.

  • @laurabloom8745
    @laurabloom8745 Před 3 lety

    The metal cutting guide is a mitre box :) just like how you cut mitres on a chop saw or use a mitre saw, it's helpful for a small hand saw/craft saw. They have bigger versions for bigger saws

  • @VaLonFrandsen
    @VaLonFrandsen Před 3 lety

    For the headboard, you should have cut it with a rotary cutter. For me I use it just like an exacto only for material. So great!

    I wish I had this video when I was in college. Lol. Anywho, college students! Unless your professor explicitly says that you NEED your book on the first day, WAIT TO BUY YOUR BOOKS! I say this because sometimes you can get an older edition of the book at lot cheaper, get some used, or your library may have your book available to reserve. Ebooks are typically cheaper, so if you can use them, you should.
    Get a planner, take your syllabi, and mark every assignment and test at the start of the semester. This helps you keep track of every assignment.
    If you can, always bring a few snacks, especially if you’re going to be on campus for a long time.
    If you’re staying in dorms, try to avoid studying where you sleep. Find a nice quiet spot and use that place for homework and studying. The separation between your resting place and your studying place is important.
