D-I-Y Headboard

My bedroom is finally coming together.  Once the new bedding arrived I decided our current headboard would no longer work in the room.  So I set out to create my own.  My inspiration for the headboard came from a recent overnight stay at a hotel!

 To construct my headboard, I purchased molding from Home Depot and had it cut to size.  I have a Cal-King bed so I used two, 47 inch pieces for the sides and one, 71 inch piece for the top.

  I used our old television box as the base for the headboard.

 I covered the box with snow blankets, purchased on clearance from Joann's after the holiday.
 

 I stapled the snow blanket to the box  before I covered it with burlap. Once the burlap was centered I flipped the box over and stapled the burlap to the back side of the box.

After staining the molding, I attached it to the frame using liquid nails.  I allowed it to dry overnight before I moved it to my bedroom.

Here it is in the room.  The almost finished room!  I'll be back soon to show you the entire room, until then take care my friends!

*ETA- The TV box is very sturdy!  One year later and it's held up great!
