$10 Headboard

[@morganmay1]

My daughter and I made a king sized headboard using a leftover half sheet of half inch plywood, some leftover quilt batting, a recycled foam from a twin size cot and a king size comforter which was enough to cover the front and back of the headboard. Great video.

[@Divergentdesignz]

I wish I could see it

[@queenofny9017]

thank you for your tutorial. The negative comments are unnecessary. If it's too long, fast forward or move on. some people are miserable.

[@chriso2467]

wonder what you're actually defending... a video or a demographic

[@chaneljohns1625]

Chris Chrisopherson what are you actually supporting? The negativity or the fact that she doesn't have the right to defend the demographic if that's what she was in fact doing? Because at the end of the day all she said was negative comments are unnecessary

[@cassandrawilson4154]

+Chris Chrisopherson .

[@dostagirl9551]

Queen OfNY I’m not miserable. I’m a viewer with opinions. So sick of fan girl illiterates with an IQ of a wombat slinging out “you just jealous” or “you just hate your life” whenever non-bashing criticism is lobbed at someone who posts a blog or vlog. The caption read as a tutorial - not tutorial and a day in my life rundown. A little intro is expected but not half the video. If she can’t handle the criticism, she should post to just her friends on FB. Then you could “friend” her and your universe feel complete.

[@debbie_cantu3366]

Now this is what I'm talking bout ...not these Ikea 65.00 crap ..thank you for the video love how the room came out at thee end very nice

[@88mrpb]

If you dont have a stapler you could just attach the fabric to the board with upholstery tacks and a hammer. If you have enough material left over cut a piece for the back of the board to so its completely covered that way nobody knows what its made from and makes for a neater finish.

[@gammie1017]

Your charitable giving is amazing! I didn't even watch the video yet!

[@katherinebarrera4822]

4:38 the tutorial actually begins.. You're welcome.

[@UniqueIllusions]

Thank you sweetheart. I do like to talk.

[@tianaj8252]

+April Denise (Sublime Home) haha don't we all

[@ah-ss7he]

yeah the video couldv been half the length since its a pretty easy tutorial.

[@dejahb.3219]

katherine Barrera thx

[@dragonqueen7198]

katherine Barrera thanks

[@white2tornado]

Awesome! She was making a video on "How To" not doing a speech class! Great video. I am grateful to people like you, who put themselves out there to show others what we can do to brighten our homes on a small budget. Don't stop, you are a blessing!

[@annbarnidge2120]

Thanks for being real enough to show the back. It does help to see that part, too! This transformation was stunning. I'm sure the homeowner was ecstatic. Great work!

[@Mrs.buildingblackwealth]

dang it april, i wouldve never thought about using the mattress padding. I was going to purchase the batting and foam from the craftstore.. GENIUS!!!

[@paigemorgan4829]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of having those headboards vertically. Cuts the budget for buying a painting or mirror or whatever on top if it's horizontal.. Super thanks for the idea.... :-)

[@pso4686]

You just saved me from traveling 60-70 miles (round trip) for foam from the closest craft store (Joann’s). I don’t know why I didn’t think to use a foAm mattress topper. Thank you!

[@gammie1017]

i love this concept. Using your talent to redesign for shelters. You will be blessed.

[@sandrakersey8849]

I like the finished product, the tall vertical lines. Very nice.

[@UniqueIllusions]

I love the lines too Sandra Kersey. I just loaded a new video diy'ing a $10 ottoman. Let me know what you think? Thanks for stopping by!

[@H0lyPh3n0m]

the room turned out really nice! great job

[@lakeiaburgess2902]

Perfect, very simple, I have a king sized bed, and I think that's very creative to hang two side by side..

[@gesax1]

Hello April, I truly appreciate your video. I am beginning several DIY projects at home and I have almost completed a guest bedroom. I saw a headboard that cost well over $300. With the help of your video I should save $250. I can wait to show you.

[@UniqueIllusions]

[@yasminwoodward7585]

​@UniqueIllusions how did you attach it to the wall?

[@kedabee2225]

I will be using this very method to create my daughter a really nice headboard. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

[@YahwehIsMine]

love this so easy...thanks for sharing this Love....i was trying to figure out how to make headboards for kids for cheap to give away...most low income families dont have them for their children...thank you so much Love again

[@EricaMerovich]

the mattress padding is a great idea! Good tutorial, thanks!

[@fppteam4490]

Very lovely! You sound like a wonderful, giving person. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you. Thankyou so much for your tutorial. God bless you greatly🙏🏼✝

[@victoriawarren8455]

Congratulation on all your endeavors. it doesn't matter to me how long you take, it's easier for me to follow..thank you.

[@affecteffected2576]

Thanks for the idea. I think what you are doing for the shelters in Atlanta is awesome. I don't know if you've worked with PADV but they help so many abused women and children. But as I'm sure you know their locations are never disclosed and under signed contract with legal ramifications. Thanks for the idea. I need a cheap headboard for and extra room and this is perfect.

[@dennisvandam3535]

you made it so simple, and easy, Love it !!! Thank u!!!!

[@jillian8305]

this actually turned out pretty cute! thanks for the tip in the foam. awesome job!

[@melaniebethcurran]

[@Jackson-pf5jb]

I love the end result, that was really nice and easy to make

[@powerhse74]

Wow great tutorial! I was stressing about using a staple gun but I see a glue gun is much better! It looks so cleaner and neater that way. Thanks!

[@NancyLiedel]

I really love the look of your home and your sense of style. I am going to try this. It's not that hard to figure out. Thank you.

[@maevehoward9082]

[@mavrick6499]

Just watched this in 2019. So helpful. Thank you from Canada!

[@opallb]

Love this idea so much, I have been trying to come up with a headboard idea for both my husband and my room as well as my daughter's room, this is so versatile, I could easily make a larger one for our room and a smaller one for hers with maybe some whimsical fabric! thank you so much for the idea and i think what you are doing to help others is amazing. :) i'm guessing you wanted to kick yourself a few times on forgetting the staple gun i can't imagine how much patience you must have had with the glue!

[@abc123xyz-q2p]

Great idea. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@gloriaabbott2950]

Love it. Applying your idea so I can make my daughter one too.

[@mariassunshine]

you are awesome! giving me some great ideas to remodel my room for cheap!!

[@UniqueIllusions]

Always mariassunshine I love designing on a budget! It really challenges me. Thanks for stopping by!

[@UniqueIllusions]

Yes @Tr3sC89 you can place it horizontally! A queen size bed is typically 60 inches wide or 5 feet so you would want your board to be at least that length. But you can also make it longer too!! You can use the simple screw method or make a cleat. For this headboard I used 4 screws (2 in each panel). I placed them in the middle of the panel evenly apart from each other. Hope this helps!

[@Toni8225]

Great job very elegant!

[@janiceduhan3315]

Wow - great job! I will try this too.

[@hannahcross2796]

[@neilwilliams5814]

How do you attach the headboard to the bed frame?Awesome video. Thanks a lot.

[@UniqueIllusions]

Neil Williams I used french cleats. You can buy them at Hobby Lobby.

[@neilwilliams5814]

I seen a video on the French Cleats. Now I know what they look like and how to use them, thanks to you. GOD bless and may you and yours have a safe and happy New Year.

[@ChiChe555]

Loved the tutorial....Could I do the same placing the headboard horizontally? If so how would I mount it and for a queen size bed how long would the plywood have to be? Thanks...

[@PatienceMelissa]

Very nice! Thank you for sharing your tips...

[@shervegas]

Thanks for this, I am attempting a king head board so I hope it comes out as nicely as yours did. :D

[@lyndadeal546]

I would like to make one for my rental house. How can I hang and with what screws not to cause damage to wall and it will not fall on my head. Not handy.

[@garrisprecious]

Looks great!

[@e.miranda8925]

Suggestions for mounting without drilling

[@UniqueIllusions]

Liz Gibson Sorry for the late response. If you're doing the tufted options you can just drill it directly into the wall where the tufts would be and glue your button on top of it. Or you can mount it like you would a big picture. If you have a local craft store in your area visit it to see if they have something like that in the picture framing area. Make sure if you use those to get one that can take the weight of your headboard. Or you can buy a french cleat which I usually purchased from Lowe's or Home Depot! Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by! Ooh Check out my blog for more diy @ AprilDenise.blogspot.com. I also have other tutorials on youtube as well. Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@randaaderi]

Thanks for sharing . you are talented !!

[@yurika975]

A cheap way is to use those eggcrate foam mattress pads. They are often less than $10 for a twin. You can even reuse an old one.

[@bgtsy]

That's okay it takes awhile, we enjoy hearing the stories.

[@jirehbeacom6233]

awesome job!!!

[@brohan5193]

Sweet headboard! Thanks!

[@roxannavanderhorst9482]

How do you hold it in the back in case you wanted to have in a horizontal position?

The over-all look (Oh My Wow) what a beautiful space created for the family. You did a wonderful job. Come help me with my home, I'm about to put my hands on it and I myself am afraid of the outcome. Can't figure out what goes with what but I know what I'd like :/
