- As you may know, if you've been in the market for a headboard, they can be very pricey! Well!!! Why not make your own? Which is exactly what I did. My mom wanted a room makeover, but we also did not want to spend A LOT of money. Next week I will be sharing with you the full room makeover! I would love it if you stopped by! Below you will find the measurements as well as the links to the lumber used!

♡ 1x2x8 Furring Strip Board (2 of these)
★ Cut one at 6 ft and cut two at 30 inches long ★
The leftover scraps you will use as supports for the back side of the headboard.

♡ 1x4x8 Eastern White Pine Furring Strip Board (9 of these)
★ Cut all of them at 6 ft ★
You will have SIX 2 ft long boards, but you are only going to use 2 of them for the legs.

Measurements for this King Size Headboard are 6 ft wide and 31.5 inch in height, with the legs added it becomes 4.6 ft in height.
Side note, if you have a queen bed you could perhaps get away with buying 10ft boards and cutting them in half, since a queen bed is about 60 in wide. However, do the math and see if it's cheaper to buy 6,8,10 ft boards. Hope this helps!
I changed the two bottom posts to be on the very left and right edges. If you (like me) plan on hard bolting the headboard to a bed frame, That’s what I did and drilled pass thru holes for carrier bolts to mount to my frame. Granted I’m doing that with a king size bed with a very heavy tempurpedic mattress so it’s not a top-heavy issue which could be a problem with lighter beds or smaller beds like twin or full. I needed a headboard that was essentially part of my frame so I could have my bed in the same location in the center of the room yet sit up and lean against it for support while watching TV etc.
That looks nice. But I noticed a few boards have the writing on boards facing the front.
What a lie, $25 is just for the wood. Assuming you already have the power tools (and some won't have a brad nailer) - nails, sandpaper, stain, & wood glue would bring the entire project closer to $50-$60. Maybe they'll have nails, but people who aren't woodworkers won't just have sandpaper, stain, & wood glue lying around. Those are hardly used in construction lumber.
One problem, YOU NEVER TELL THE BOARD SIZES OR WHAT YOU USE!!!
Real rough!
I like the imperfections. It gives it character. Very nice! Did you attach it to the wall as well? I just bought an adjustable bed, and trying to decide on a headboard.
A great trick to prevent gaps is to trim off each long edge and then the pieces of wood will butt together a lot more snug
Totally agree!
I’m doing this next week, wish me luck!! ✨ Thank you May!!!
Good luck!! I would love to see pictures! You can send them to me via Instagram maynunez18 😄😄😄
very nice concept. well done.
Im debating which approach/style I want to take vs buying a headboard which would cost $200-400$.
Im curious to know did you mount/screw the finish headboard onto the wall or is it just standing on the 2 legs against the wall (unsecured).....and why did you opt to use bunch of single pieces instead just going for 1 single finished sheet of wood in the same size and then just adding the frame design and screwing straight into the wall??
This would look even cooler if you used a torch to do some controlled burns 🔥🤘
I agree!
What prevents you from applying the glue sticking them all together and then screw the trim on right away while the glue is still wet? Seemed like there's no reason to wait for it to dry
Definitely not $25 and the boards you have are not the ones in the link. Your boards have to be at least $70 for that quality. I spent $20 on boards and they are disgusting. Had to sand and wood fill them for hours. And I spend $50 so far not including nails and screws I have to buy.
Nope, they were no where near that price! My HomeDepot carries really nice inexpensive lumber. I do believe even if you’ve spent $50, that’s still cheaper than most headboards.😄
You didn’t HAVE to buy shitty wood. You could have passed on the project.
Do you feel like if pillows or arms etc rub up against the headboard at night that it will cause splinters? Or does the stain help prevent that?
That’s why you sand it down beforehand!😄
Thank you for this! My daughter and I are making her headboard next week and you gave me such excellent idea!
Good luck and most importantly, have fun!🤗
And here I thought I needed clamps 😅... I wasted my money 🤭
Pocket screws would be useful to secure the boards together...
I agree, but I didn’t have my tools at the time. I was in the process of moving across the country. I made do with what I had.😊
@@maynunez well it's a great project! Thanks for sharing!
Gracias, just what I was looking for.
Loved this!! I’m not experienced with wood but are there darker wood colors
For the wood finish?
Yes there are many different stains you can use!
I love love your DIY videos, you are such a great RUclipsr!! I would love to see more room decor DIY videos:) keep up the awesome work and content girl ❤️🌞🌾🍂
Thanks a ton! It means a lot!😄🤗
starts the Video with making a cup of coffee. Me: My kind of video, I'm in. lol
Coffee: living fuel ⛽️😅
Thanks for the inspiration! Going to try this one out!
Please do! Good luck!👍☺️
Looks great! Good job. Sometimes simple is better.
Thank you!
Hi there May it is an awe-inspiring and easy project. Now you don't have to pay $$$$ for a personalised headboard. Congratulations from South Africa. 😊😊😊
Thank you!🤗
This may be a dumb question I am new to this the beginner but I was just wondering... does the Wood Finishing or wood stain does that help avoid getting splinters? I'm assuming sanding it down would definitely help. But is that all you need? Just sanding it down and staining the wood?
That’s all I did and so far no splinters!
No, I wouldn't say stain would prevent splinters. Sanding would be the most help for that. Other than that, I suppose perhaps a couple layers of paint or a polyurethane might help if you're trying to go for the rustic, old, beaten up look.. I'd guess?
Completely agree with Jay!
How are ya, May Nunez. wonderful video. thanks. :)
Thank you!😁
I really enjoyed watching this! Thank you for this video🤗
I’m glad you like it, thank you!🙌😊
How did you attach the headboard to the wall?
Just added some screws!
What proportions would you need for a twin sized bed
You would have to measure your twin size bed and decide how big you want it and go from there!😉
Is this free-standing or did you attach it to the bed? Love it
I explained in the video!😊 but I drilled to the wall.
I’m totally going to try this
Good luck!
Great job
Thank you!
Cute!!!
Thank you!😄
do you know how to keep it from wobbling?
You can screw it to the wall! Sometimes lumber isn’t straight, but you can always screw it!😋
A rental friendly solution could be using those command velcro strips, that might work
It looks great, other than the weird painters tape clamp advice. You're not clamping anything, you're just loosely holding it until the glue dries. A clamp would fix the gaps you mentioned.
No way that’s $25 in Biden’s America. Wood prices are through the roof. Nice job. Looks great
what Biden policy increased wood prices
Trump letting the virus go rampant is what led to folks being stuck at home doing DIY projects. THAT'S what sky rocketed the price. The price of wood was up while trump was in office.
@@chrisisnowliftingstuff3248 😂😂😂. Blane trump for everything.
@@krissanchez4816 it's not a blame. It's a fact. People isolated under trump. People started building DIY while trump was in office. Prices shot up while trump was in office. What's to refute?
@@chrisisnowliftingstuff3248 just like the great economy was obamas doing and now that things are going to shit it can’t be Biden’s fault. Dems are the answer. Trump screwed everything up. There’s nothing to refute. You’re blinded by your loyalty to the left.
Hi!!! Thank you for sharing this!! Would you mind elaborating on what needs to be done to make a queen size headboard? Are you saying instead of buying the 6ft buy 10 and cut those to make it 5ft?
So 1X4X5 and 1x2x5 with the same quantity?
Thanks I’m advance
Yes to buying the 10ft boards and cutting them in half, but be careful because they’re not always exactly 10 ft exact, sometimes they’re a little short. In regards to the width, that’s completely up to you! Just see which material is most cost effective!😄
@@maynunez 💞💞🙏🏾
Thank you for this! Perfect timing for this weekend's project 💫💗
You’re welcome!😊🤗
Looks like it would disintegrate
They still use this to this date 😋
