First ... thank you so much for all the wonderful comments about the bed tutorial Today I will share with you a part of two DIY projects taking place in the room of my boys.
Not only do I want to add a decorative touch to design the new room, but I also wanted to keep grubby little hands and feet off my walls! So the solution? . headboards that wrap the entire length of the two beds
I opted for pressboard for support headboards; my Home Depot, it was available in 24 sheets L "H x 48 in." My finite length required to be 64 "on one side and 92" on the other side, so I have to assemble them using 1 "x 4" boards attached to the pressboard with 1 screw "for the support to get the length . desired
This is how it was in layers from bottom to top: fabric, cotton, 1 "foam, pressboard (pressboard I use as my model). No math skills here, just Wingin 'It!
I used my graphics in any fabric to line up, so I used a staple gun to attach the fabric to the pressboard.
I got French cleats, found at Home Depot at 1 "x 4" for wall mounting. What is a French cleat? Glad you asked; follow this link to see one of my favorite ways to mount heavier items on a wall. Oh, and did I mention each panel is removable? Oh, yes
Half the French dock attaches to the panel, and the other part fixed to the wall !; then they just lock together. Super fast, completely secure and easy to remove from the wall
TIP: .. If you do not go into a post, I recommend using drywall anchors
because of the length of the panels I needed, it was easier to make and install the headboard into three pieces. Have a great DIY project? Let us know by commenting on this post
