My daughter and I made a king sized headboard using a leftover half sheet of half inch plywood, some leftover quilt batting, a recycled foam from a twin size cot and a king size comforter which was enough to cover the front and back of the headboard. Great video.
Very lovely! You sound like a wonderful, giving person. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you. Thankyou so much for your tutorial. God bless you greatly🙏🏼✝
Thanks for being real enough to show the back. It does help to see that part, too! This transformation was stunning. I'm sure the homeowner was ecstatic. Great work!
You just saved me from traveling 60-70 miles (round trip) for foam from the closest craft store (Joann’s). I don’t know why I didn’t think to use a foAm mattress topper. Thank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of having those headboards vertically. Cuts the budget for buying a painting or mirror or whatever on top if it's horizontal.. Super thanks for the idea.... :-)
love this so easy...thanks for sharing this Love....i was trying to figure out how to make headboards for kids for cheap to give away...most low income families dont have them for their children...thank you so much Love again
Chris Chrisopherson what are you actually supporting? The negativity or the fact that she doesn't have the right to defend the demographic if that's what she was in fact doing? Because at the end of the day all she said was negative comments are unnecessary
Queen OfNY I’m not miserable. I’m a viewer with opinions. So sick of fan girl illiterates with an IQ of a wombat slinging out “you just jealous” or “you just hate your life” whenever non-bashing criticism is lobbed at someone who posts a blog or vlog. The caption read as a tutorial - not tutorial and a day in my life rundown. A little intro is expected but not half the video. If she can’t handle the criticism, she should post to just her friends on FB. Then you could “friend” her and your universe feel complete.
If you dont have a stapler you could just attach the fabric to the board with upholstery tacks and a hammer. If you have enough material left over cut a piece for the back of the board to so its completely covered that way nobody knows what its made from and makes for a neater finish.
Hello April, I truly appreciate your video. I am beginning several DIY projects at home and I have almost completed a guest bedroom. I saw a headboard that cost well over $300. With the help of your video I should save $250. I can wait to show you.

Awesome! She was making a video on "How To" not doing a speech class! Great video. I am grateful to people like you, who put themselves out there to show others what we can do to brighten our homes on a small budget. Don't stop, you are a blessing!
Thanks for the idea. I think what you are doing for the shelters in Atlanta is awesome. I don't know if you've worked with PADV but they help so many abused women and children. But as I'm sure you know their locations are never disclosed and under signed contract with legal ramifications. Thanks for the idea. I need a cheap headboard for and extra room and this is perfect.
Great...I have foam, an old comforter (it cute) & wire & a wall hook! Thanks for sharing...I have envisioned my new headboard & I think Im gonna add a faux leather textured trim to it...EXCITING!!!

wow thanks, i just brought a bedroom set that I do not like. its a platform wood bed, i wanted a leather headboard, so now i know what to do instead of selling the whole set lol! Besides now it will be unique also. THANKS!!!!!
Thanks loved the video. Going to make one myself. The video is a great help. Wonderful to hear about the volunteer work you do for the Shelter. Well done!

Love this idea so much, I have been trying to come up with a headboard idea for both my husband and my room as well as my daughter's room, this is so versatile, I could easily make a larger one for our room and a smaller one for hers with maybe some whimsical fabric! thank you so much for the idea and i think what you are doing to help others is amazing. :) i'm guessing you wanted to kick yourself a few times on forgetting the staple gun i can't imagine how much patience you must have had with the glue!
Good ideas, and the room looks great! A few extra tips to save $$.....check the classifieds' "free" section, often people give scrap plywood in sizes large enough to do this; or give away a headboard needing attention attention that can be recovered; or even some awesome leftover stone or tile (affix the tile *very* well if using for a headboard, grout and trim edges with moulding to help hold it in place), or use it for making a great coffee table, tabletop, adding to an old dresser for a kitchen island, bath cabinet, nightstand, etc................. *The classifieds' free section, and stopping by a construction site and asking for leftover materials (or just dumpster-dive* when they leave for the day) like OSB or plywood can help, too. Sometimes they just haul it all off and burn it! Even perfectly good windows. doors and even rafters and shingles, anything for new construction. Some companies don't hassle with returning them or saving them for another job, no kidding. They'll burn enough to make a few homes sometimes, it's sad! Doors make great tables and headboards also. Craft supplies get given away free, too, in the classifieds. Just if helps anyone out there. I got a free and brand-new, perfect-condition, sliding glass door and some new windows, plus other stuff, all from a new-apartment site once, from the guy ordered to go burn it all up. Best odds are at new apartment or condo construction sites, or a new home site. Good luck, everyone:)
some people are aholes! if its too long for you thats why theres a fast forward option. I loved this video cheap,quick and she gives alot of slow info that the other vids ive seen dont give.👿 love u girrrl your vids are great.
The over-all look (Oh My Wow) what a beautiful space created for the family. You did a wonderful job. Come help me with my home, I'm about to put my hands on it and I myself am afraid of the outcome. Can't figure out what goes with what but I know what I'd like :/
My daughter and I made a king sized headboard using a leftover half sheet of half inch plywood, some leftover quilt batting, a recycled foam from a twin size cot and a king size comforter which was enough to cover the front and back of the headboard.
Great video.

Great work!
i love this concept. Using your talent to redesign for shelters. You will be blessed.
Nice job...& thank you for your work with our community ♥️ God bless you ♥️

the mattress padding is a great idea! Good tutorial, thanks!
I will be using this very method to create my daughter a really nice headboard. Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Perfect, very simple, I have a king sized bed, and I think that's very creative to hang two side by side..
You are so sweet and thorough! Great work and wonderful philanthropy!
love this so easy...thanks for sharing this Love....i was trying to figure out how to make headboards for kids for cheap to give away...most low income families dont have them for their children...thank you so much Love again
thank you for your tutorial. The negative comments are unnecessary. If it's too long, fast forward or move on. some people are miserable.
wonder what you're actually defending... a video or a demographic
Chris Chrisopherson what are you actually supporting? The negativity or the fact that she doesn't have the right to defend the demographic if that's what she was in fact doing? Because at the end of the day all she said was negative comments are unnecessary

I like the finished product, the tall vertical lines. Very nice.
I love the lines too Sandra Kersey. I just loaded a new video diy'ing a $10 ottoman. Let me know what you think? Thanks for stopping by!
This video is GREAT! The tips at the beginning are smart & creative. Very good job!

Very Cute Headboard!!! :)
This was so creative!!!
thats beautiful and its pretty
Thanks Joshua Shawkey! I just loaded a new video diy'ing a $10 ottoman. Let me know what you think? Thanks for stopping by!
The over-all look (Oh My Wow) what a beautiful space created for the family. You did a wonderful job. Come help me with my home, I'm about to put my hands on it and I myself am afraid of the outcome. Can't figure out what goes with what but I know what I'd like :/
Sweet headboard! Thanks!
Great idea!
You're an angel
You could ask around and maybe get some foam for free, some people use it for camping and throw it away! Perfect condition!
A cheap way is to use those eggcrate foam mattress pads. They are often less than $10 for a twin. You can even reuse an old one.
Very Nice!
Great tutorial!
...she's actually using chipboard ....cheaper than plywood.
I luuuv!!!!! ur work so exited to try this!!!!!
Thanks Maria!
