Who else needed this in 2023?. Honestly the price for a King size Headboard + postage in Western Australia is bonkers. Thank you so much ❤.
2024 also in WA!
Don’t let the items list in the beginning scare you, the finished product is well worth it! this was my FAVORITE DIY headboard video by far. 💯 💯💯💯💯
Whoop! Thanks for the great review! :)
I think that it's sweet how you made your friend a headboard, I know she helped but still very kind, anyway love it!
You guys are so kind and soft spoken, it made the tutorial even more delightful to watch. :)
My wife and I made this over our holiday break. Turned out great! I went with screws instead and had no issues. We also went with a sheet set, planning on using the remaining material to make a frame on the floor of the bed, Total cost for the headboard was $121.
Love this! Thanks for sharing, David! :)
I’ve gone years wanting a headboard but, didn’t want to pay 💰 hundreds for one. Your tufted headboard is one of the best that I’ve seen on RUclips. I can’t wait to do this 🤗
You made my day!
This is by far the best tutorial out there! Honestly, I love the fact that there is no drilling involved ha!
BEAUTIFUL headboard. and thank you for the tip that it doesn't have to be soo tight because I always thought it has to be super tight to for upholstered look
Again, great job
Thank you Anna!
Hands down the best tutorial. Thanks for the supply list...
@@Checkinginwithchelsea where is the button tool from ?
YES!! Now all she needs is three matching frames with complimenting photos in that space above the headboard (or mirrors, whatever floats your boat) and floor to ceiling curtains on those windows to make the space look put together. That headboard made such a huge difference.
Really warm ! Not just only budget or money issue, its great to have the friends, neighbours or family members building the HOME together with love and care ! Every pieces of materials contains and memorize lots of love, sharing and joyful experience ! It's for sure more than any expensive or beautiful board brought outside ! AWESOME ! Very clear tools, procedures and methodologies illustrated and shared. The most important thing is it never comprise with the quality and beauty ! The board is nice. good and great. Every friends and family members or even the audience can use their hands and heart to touch and feel the board ! It's full of love ! 💓
Could definitely helps making the lovely dreams every night or every time !
Great job, well done ! Can't wait for the next projects ! 😄
This is great. I'm moving into an apartment with a queen size bed and no headboard and I've been wondering how I could utilize my old mattress topper from my dorm. Thanks so much for sharing!
How do I adapt this for a queen sized bed
Try using deck nails, they are spiraled, will still go in sraight and will not pull out. Also my pet peeve in diy projects is, the back is never finished, at least, a cheap coat of paint and a strip of same fabric folded over, say 3 inches wide glued over raw edges on back to look like a finish binding, then it could be used anywhere for different projects. Fabulous idea, washers are genious and tufting due to washers is fabulous !!!
d c they could have easily added some quilt batting and covered it with the excess fabric . I haven’t seen one diy that covered it
Good advice cheers
Where do I find this kind of material
Loved the video, step by step and in plain english for everybody to understand. Thank you.

Awesome tutorial, I love making things. I made a 3-panel headboard out of pain canvases and it looks great but I swear I love it more because it's the work of my hands! ;)
That's a lot of work to save $100 and that's only if you get all the materials for free
@@coolhluke8089 some people just enjoy the process of making things themselves and for them it’s worth it
I made this for my baby but for anti collision in their playroom. Amazing! Thank you
My mom and I do a lot of projects together now that I'm older, I just moved in to my new apartment just last Friday, and my husband and I never thought to have a headboard all these years until now. So I've been price checking around looking for the right price to buy one, and now that I've seen this, well let's just say I sent this link to my mom and I told her "look what I just found!! Let's do this!!" Lol! She is in agreement that this video looks awesome. So I see our new goal coming up shortly. Thank you so much for this.
well how'd it go? 'cuase I'm in the middle of buying materials. Fabric, foam and decorative nails, check. Uncertain how think of wood I should go with.
+April Forsythe quarter inch would be best & the plasterboard is better than the actual plywood (staples go in easier with the plasterboard)

I will definitely will update my upholstery bed frame soon. Thanks for the inspiration ❤
By far, the best tufted headboard tutorial I've seen.
You haven't seen many then, this is good DIY standard.
If you were to buy one made by a professional upholsterer, it would be pleated a and measured properly with holes cut out cleanly and threaded buttons.
This is really helpful as I want to re-cover and up cycle my existing plain headboard and make it a quilted one. I can see where I won’t need new materials etc and where j will! This was really clear and easy to understand! Thank you!
Hi I watched a few different tutorials and by far this one was easy to follow and the list of supplies made everything easier then easy! It did take a few hours to make and definitely a two person job.
Soo happy with the out come of my new headboard. So beautiful
I just completed this myself, thank you for this excellent guide to diy it.
This also MY favorite tufted tutorial as well! Its BEAUTIFUL!
OMG I SWEAR this was the best tutorial on tufted headboards I have found. I can actually follow and your results was just beautiful THANK YOU SO MUCH Im almost done with redecorating my bedroom all I need to do is the new headboard. Thank you!
Thank you for making this look so simple! I feel like I can make my own full bedroom set!!😄
Das ist die schnellste tapezierung was ich bis jezt gesehen habe und die einfachste !!!!
fabulous!!! I totally adore d washer and nail idea. it saved a lot of time from stitching. I also love how you applied the buttons. with this tutorial, I see myself finishing my headboard in one day. thanks for the video.
Can't find 3/4 inch nails. Can I use 1and 3/4 inch instead
This was a cool way to show us how to make a headboard! As woodworker needing to make one, this is a perfect video to fill in my gaps - thank you!
Thanks, Lowell!
Girlfriend wants one of these! I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to make one. You just saved me $300!!!
How much did it cost
@@nathanconway131 it's been a while. I think it cost less than $20. Then again, I had some marine birch plywood lying around.
@@varun009 thanks it would really add to my room to make one
@@nathanconway131 just remember to use marine plywood that's covered with a waterproof resin and pure polyester fabric. Cotton fabric is harder to clean and if you use normal plywood, the backboard will rot while you're trying to.
@@varun009 When you try to what? Regular plywood will rot in your bedroom over time?
I like how you used roofing nails and then glued buttons to headboard. So much easier. I tried to do this with heavy thread and buttons. Your way is so much easier and it looks great!
Love this tutorial! The headboard turned out beautifully! How much in total did the materials cost?
So I added up all the materials from your list (just the materials, not the tools) and it comes out to $180 in materials to make this headboard for a king size bed to your dimensions. I have found multiple king size tufted headboards online for less than the cost of just the materials to make this thing...
that headboard came out super cute and it was really easy nice job ladies just saying
Best one I've seen by far. You guys made it look easy, although clearly it was not! Two friends working together seemed like fun. Thank you!
Great work you guys! 😊 I have come across so many tutorials and this is far the best I've seen, thank you so much, now I can create a wonderful and luxuries looking headboard for my daughter and myself. God bless, and I hope you continue doing some more helpful tutorials like this one.
That is absolutely GORGEOUS. You two did fantastic job of craftsmanship, creativity, and budgeting to show you don't have to buy from expensive stores when you can make it yourself and have fun while doing. Also good job on the math lol. Great video quality and sound to. Well worth watching. Will be sharing this for you. Keep up the good work and projects. Thankfully I did carpentry with my dad for many years. Thank you for sharing this.
I did this tutorial and it turned out amazing ! So pleased with the outcome. Thanks so much for the demonstration
Yay! Thanks for sharing Rayha! :) ~Chelsea
Can you make me one I'll pay please
just love the way you are making fun with the math
Best one I have seen so far! Definitely doing it this way!
Cynthia Hall definitely. it's. best method yet and I've watched all d videos
Yes
Cynthia Hall you're absolutely right, defiantly doing this for myself and my daughters!
Have you done it? How much did you spend?
did it turn out good
I did this, but I used styrofoam, filler and blue velvet cloth. I glued the foam together on the ends to get the width I needed. I glued down the filler to the styrofoam, put the cloth over, used long pearl headed push pins so they easily slid into the foam. I then gently pulled the fabric taught and pinned it all around the back of the foam and glued it so it would stay. I have an adjustable frame so I just stuck it to the wall above the bed with 3M adhesive strips. Very light and easy to move. Took me less than 2 hours not including glue drying time. Its very elegant.
You two did a great job!. I love love love it!. Now, I want to create my own!. 😊
I’m a returning college student taking college algebra and pre-calculus, the math acronym is so fitting right now, LOL! Great job ladies, tfs, God bless.
you guy just saved me some money
I am definitely gona do that.
Kgalalelo Ralefatsane same here
Not really saving money
How much did it cost??
Honestly your video is the first tufted headboard video that I love because it looks expensive and original. I love it thank you now I make mine ❤️❤️😍😍😍
I'm the 10,000th like! 😉 Which is ironic because I've been watching this video for months. Lol I keep watching to hype myself up to just make it already. They make it look so easy and I want a beautiful head board just like it. I just don't want to mess it up. Lol
This is the best video on diy tufted headboard. I finally made mine yesterday using this tutorial. Yet to glue the buttons but it already looks so pretty!! I did glue the foam to the wood though so it doesn't move while i work on it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Wowww this is my FAVORITE tutorial on the tufted method. I cant wait to try on my own!
Desiree Marie me too. I'm bout to buy a pink drill.
Desiree Marie
i want one in black toile! love this great job!!
Loving your tip about using two layers of thinner foam so you can easily cut the foam vs. using the 3 inch more expensive type! Plus if you need to, a good old fashion electric knife cuts through the thicker foam if you need to.
wowww...reality check... I'll have to buy mine.
With the cost of the material adding up to 100 bux you can buy a headboard on amazon. What I like about this video is you can custom make the headboard the size and material you want.
@@hart3254 wow you totally missed the point
I came here just to understand how tufting worked but I got soooo invested in this. Great work.
GLUE the foam pieces to each other and GLUE the foam down onto the board. Also, finish the back with some type of fabric. Since it's a headboard, spray the finished fabric on the entire headboard with Scotchguard to prevent stains.
Trevizolga, I appreciate the details to glue down the foam to board and glue foam pieces to eachother to keep things from shifting! Thanks
Tips: made King size according to tutorial. The 9.5 in spacing did not work out well...until I realized I needed to start from the center with the first row. Also there was a lot more than 5.5 in. on the bottom, but then realized that's behind the bed so it didn't matter. The button kit is a little tricky, so get extra's. It helped to used a little hammer to pound the blue thing that seats the back on the button.
Put some kind of drop cloth around the hole when using the glue to put the buttons on. It oozes at inopportune times. I haven't hung it on the wall yet, but I'm really happy with the looks of it. I made it with brown faux suede I found at the second hand store for only $5.00! (Kinda makes up for the extra I spent buying the wrong size mattress pads to begin with). Thank you Chelsea for this video!
Me encantó, pero porque no forraron la parte trasera? Se hubiese visto mejor 🤔
I LOVE IT😍
So doing this for my Cali King!! Except long ways we sleep on the bed sideways so it's gonna be very long lol. Super excited to try this 😍
Video was great and looks easy...
Thank you thank you so much.. Me and my brother made one headboard after watching your video
This IS the best and easiest tufted headboard tutorial! I love how you designed the headboard with easy to do tips. And the finished product is luxurious. Yummy.
Thank you for your very thorough tutorial.
made my first padded tufted head board in 96, First it is easier to cut the foam with an electric knife, make the marks on the plywood, the using an upholstery needle through a small hole you drilled in the plywood on the marks. leave the loop on the button and pull it through using piano wire makes a stronger hold on the tuft. work you way out from the center before you staple the fabric and batting down
Congratulations ladies job well done! Revamping your room is a very good feeling. Tfs...if I purchase a upholstered headboard and would like it to be tufted...can I do the measuring and buttons process you showed in this diy?
you might be able to... but the fabric may have already been pulled too tight to allow for tufting.
Genius and very clear to follow. My Mum wants a headboard so this is a good tutorial to go with. Fingers crossed for the end result.
That’s awesome
Quality workmanship on this -- very nicely executed! The M. A. T. H. bonus appreciated!
I can totally do this!
*reads supplies needed 1 minute into video*
Meh, never mind.
You can do it! I was able to do it myself and I don't have enough experience. I used a pegboard instead of plywood but it requires sewing.. here's my video if you're curious how I did it
ruclips.net/video/Z6QBTf_oytI/видео.html
But the supplies needed are so simple and basic... A piece of wood, some fluff like a mattress topper and some fabric. The button kit - easy. Nails and washers - easy. Don't get discouraged before you try. You can always come to video comments or reddit for questions that may arise during construction.
@@RaczKelly .hi po I just watched your video nice headboard
I kept waiting for the list to stop 😂 but wait... there’s more!
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing your video. Out of all the video’s I’ve watch on making headboards, I like yours the best. Especially how you installed the buttons. Great tip! 👍👏😀
Omg thanks for this diy i can't wait to make mine
Great tip to use a mattress pad instead of the more expensive pad! Very easy to follow video.
How much/what size fabric did you use for a king size?
I bought about 3.5 yards and had some leftover!
Libby King I have a cal king
Ok I’ve seen lots of these ! Best one Yet !!!!! If my Daughter wants I think we can do this !!! Yea YOU !!!
These ladies are absolutely amazing they let this looked easy I so love these headboard
Can we make mines together? This looks so good😍
Outstanding video...detailed, easy to understand and inspiring. I feel as though, I could do that...the mystery of the "buttons" has been revealed.
"How did you get something so big in such a tiny package?"
That's what she said.
Mokiimo 😭 LMAO
Oh god! I said the same thing!! 😭😂🤣
@@iamshan__ who are you asking? a stupid commentor
David Beiler ♥️
Your humor is awesome
Great Tutorial. Made it in a day (and a few extra hours to make the blooming buttons!). Thank you.
waw,nt lying it really look gr8t,love it 💟
Really very inspiring vedio to Chang your bed in just low coast and less time, loved it & I'm going to change my bed by this method in the summer vacations .
Here's what you'll need! *proceeds to list the tools and items you'll need, about a mile long list*
me: I'll just go without xD
I am so excited, I can't wait to do this project. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
Actually gonna use this to make a tufted dinette/couch for my live aboard boat :)
Nevermind, I'm just gonna get it custom made
Lazy
O woow you guys I'm impressed I love what you guys are doing I need a headboard in my room and this is just what I needed
How much was it spent in total ???
$125-150 depending on the fabric you use!
Michelle xc that's what I was wondering
Michelle xc so 125-150 for materials and then your time ... sounds very cost ineffective
but you get what you want and the fabric you want. compared to buying offline and not knowing the true color or fabric texture
I think if you have a lot of thise tools on hand it makes it cost effective. What is included in the total price?
Excellent! My Husband & I were just talking about this last night!!
By far the best tufted headboard video I've seen.Loved it!
You two lasses done a cracking job there! my lass wouldn't even attempt anything like that well done
And all me and my best friend do is eat and twerk 😂😂
Fay • 😂
Fabulous!!!! I got to try this. I want to do a tufted headboard without tufting the usual way using a needle etc. and hammering in nails seems to be easier.
her voice is not good
Kenna Moro sounds like it cracks!😭
Kenna Moro
Actually I like it
I love it too. It has that raspiness to it. When she says "luxurious" *melts*
Holy cow, I know I can do this. BEST headboard DIY!
I loved y'alls tutorial. I've seen many but none as detailed as yalls. Now I just got to work up the courage to do it!!🙈🙊🤔 Thank you all 4 sharing.
You got this! 👊🏻
No sewing! No drilling! I love this!!
Thank you so much for your tutorial , I was able to make one for myself and I love it . You are my inspiration
It's so satisfying to watch you do it so nicely. I don't think I can do that
You're video helped me a lot we build a bed and now we are know how to build a headboard so cool thanks 😚😚
Beautiful created.
ohhhhooo so creative ..easily done
Omg! This is amazing! It looks effortless but I'm sure it isn't!
Wow, that is VERY impressive! Great job!
Very clear and detailed video
i just finished making this i 10000% recommend it looks amazing
Wahoo! Love to hear it!
How many buttons does this require
Mattress pad used as batting great great idea no scenes and inexpensive
Thank you! We were planning on buying a house but where I live, real estate is bonkers even in the suburbs, we have to postpone our plans. In order for our daughters to have their own room, we have to move everything around in the apartment. Our double living room will be divided and we are moving our bedroom in on of the halves, our current headboard is 11 inches deep which narrows down the space in the room. I will be storing the headboard and I didn’t want to spend hundreds on a new one!
Best headboard tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
