Easy 30 Minute Headboard

I've been wanting/needing a headboard for my guest room bed for quite some time now. I finally decided today was the day I made something. I didn't want anything heavy because my husband doesn't like poking holes in the walls of our new house, so I had to do something that could be hung up via command strips (those things are magic).

Here's the items you'll need to buy or dig out of your craft closet:

1. Foam board, 3 pieces (I used the 20X30 size and they are $3 each at Hobby Lobby)
2. Fabric of your choice (around 3 yards)
3. Quilt batting (I got the cheapest, thinnest roll for $4)
4. A light duty staple gun and staples(they have plastic ones at Hobby Lobby next to the sewing section for $9, but if you download the free Hobby Lobby app you get a daily 40% off coupon for one non-sale item that I used on this)
5. Rope for detailing (I bought 3 rolls at 15ft each)
6. Scissors
7. Glue gun and glue sticks
8. Double sided 3M Command strips that can hold up to 1 lb. (a pack with at least 6 pieces should do)
Here's how you do it

1. Lay the batting over the foam board and cut to size
2. Lay the fabric face down, then the batting, then the foam board (like a sandwich with the batting in the middle) and cut the fabric, leaving about 2-3 inches hanging off on each side.
3. Fold over the fabric edges to the back of the foam board and use your staple gun to secure along the edges (staple about 1 inch from the edge all the way around)
4. When you get to the corners, fold them or pinch them at a diagonal and staple so that no fabric hangs out and is visible from the front (no rhyme or reason to this, just kind of make it work)
5. Flip your board over and glue your rope edging about 1/2-1 inch from the edge all the way around.
6. You're done! (now repeat steps 1-5 for the other 2 boards)
7. Peel and stick the Command strips to each board, one at the top and one at the bottom (on the foam board, not the fabric, so they'll be about 4 inches from the edge), then find the bed you want to adorn and stick them to the wall. I stuck them about 2 inches from each other.

So pretty! And then, when you're ready to move or you want to change up your look with a different headboard, just peal them off by pulling the command strips parallel to the wall (pull sideways, not out! Ouch walls!)

This project cost about $35-$40, pretty good for a custom headboard.
