When they found themselves in the trenches of infertility, they started a journey that would prove to be their most important DIY project ever, and have 3 beautiful girls to show for it. <3
This is one of the coolest projects you’ve made!
Hi Anonymous, unfortunately we didn’t do a tutorial when we made this headboard several years ago. Basically we just cut the backboard to be longer/wider and upholstered it before gluing on the individual upholstered squares. Then we hammered in the tacks one at a time. It took FOREVER, and never quite looked straight or professional. We weren’t happy with the way it turned out and that’s why we didn’t do a tutorial on it. We hope you have better luck though. Send us pics when you’re done!
Hi! I’m making a headboard and love the boarder around the headboard. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the tutorial, just wondering if there were simple instructions on how to recreate it! Thanks!
