Step 1: Cut Foam
To determine the size of your headboard, add 10 inches to the width of your mattress and at least 24 inches to the height of the bed. Cut 1/2-inch medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and 2-inch foam to size, and attach the foam to the MDF with spray adhesive. Pretty Headboard Decorating Ideas
Step 2: Staple Batting and Fabric
Lay batting on the floor and place the headboard, foam down, on top; trim batting so a few inches will wrap to the back of the headboard. Begin wrapping and stapling the batting, starting at the center of one side and pulling it taut on the other side. Continue stapling in the same manner. Cut notches at each corner to remove excess bulk, and wrap batting around the corners neatly like a present. Repeat the process with your selected fabric (see photo above). Secure the headboard to the wall with a French cleat. Cheap and Chic DIY Headboard Ideas
