DIY Upholstered Headboard

A few weekends ago I made an upholstered headboard with the help of my husband, of course. With the baby on the way we decided to make our former guest bedroom the nursery and make one of our other spare rooms into the guest bedroom, and since the furniture we had in the guest bedroom was Jairus’ bedroom set from high school I decided it was time for a change; Plus I have been wanting to make an upholstered headboard for a year now and this gave me a reason to make my own DIY Upholstered headboard.

This was an easy project, it literally only took my husband an I an hour to make it, so if you have been wanting to make your own Upholstered headboard but have procrastinating because you thought it would be a long and overwhelming project, then this tutorial is for you!
