Making a Headboard

So I am finally getting around to the headboard post! I've been wanting to make my own headboard forever, and I was surprised that it really was as easy to make as people say. The headboard frames the bed nicely and adds a little pizazz to the room. We're still working on a duvet, so it's just close-up pictures for now.

The fabric consists of pillow shams purchased from TJ Max. Then, my super-crafty friend, Tiff (purse and bag designer extraordinaire), helped me sew the fabric together. The material and batting were staple-gunned to a piece of plywood, George helped with the upholstering and hardware....and Voila!! Instant headboard.
