Wine Headboard

May 22, 2010 by Bethany Sy

We just finished crafting this sweet wine headboard. Because of the upholstery tacks, it took far longer than we planned, but felt the results were well worth it!

    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!

I was pretty proud of this idea when it came into my head, but they were EVEN YUMMIER than I expected! Kid and adult approved!

And since there’s no syrup needed, they’re basically healthier than regular pancakes, right? RIGHT?! 👊

If you too are without a pergola, don’t worry! We’re breaking down all the details of how we fashioned this freestanding pole for the lights to anchor to. And it doubles as a planter for my coleus and climbing mandevilla! Soooo pretty!!

This year, instead of petunias, I decided to use Million Bells (sometimes called mini petunias or Calibrachoa) because they don’t have to be deadheaded constantly. I’m so excited to see how they do! 🌸  Find the tutorial for this planter by doing a Google search for “Reality Daydream Petunia Planter” and build your own!! 🙌
