Upholstered Otomi Headboard


Why we love it: Customize this upholstered headboard by making it any shape you want before choosing your favorite fabric.

What you need: wood; foam; batting; fabric; utility knife; scissors; staple gun; flush mount; spray adhesive

How to make it: Cut the wood into the shape you want. Place your foam on top of the headboard, trace it and cut it to size. Repeat this with the batting and fabric, leaving both 4-5 inches wider than the headboard. Spray the foam with adhesive to attach it to the board. First attach the batting, and then the foam, with a staple gun. (Make sure you iron and pull the fabric taught to eliminate any wrinkles.) Attach the headboard to your wall with flush mounts or stand it on the ground behind your bed.
