DIY bed headboard design created with floral fabric

Design a plywood base for your bed headboard. With a pair of fabric sheers, cut a piece of your favorite floral fabric at least six inches bigger than the actual dimensions of the plywood base.

Add cotton or foam batting to the bed headboard to make a piece that is soft enough to rest against. Cut the batting about three inches bigger than the plywood base.

Pull the fabric and foam over the edge of the longest side of your bed headboard. With an upholstery stapler, set staples into the piece of fabric and batting about every six inches. Once you have one side evenly stapled, fill in the gaps between the staples, so that you have a staple about every three inches.
