Don't have a headboard? This easy, inexpensive answer is quick to make and looks incredible!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 36"x36" stretched artist canvas
  • 56"x45" upholstery fabric
  • pencil
  • scissors
  • yardstick
  • staple gun
  • craft glue
  • satin ribbon
  1. Step 1

    Lay your fabric out face down and place the canvas, face down, in the center of the fabric. Measure 2 1/2" out from each side of the canvas and use the yardstick to draw lines connecting the marks.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the fabric on the lines and fold it up and over the frame. Staple around the edges to secure, stopping about an 1" before each corner.

  3. Step 3

    Pinch the fabric in the corners together and fold tightly before stapling. Attach ribbon with craft glue around the edges of the frame.
