While people are watching gossip channels here’s a woman teaching crazy skills... the world gone mad... btw.. no protective coverage on her floor rug... she’s a pro 💪🏾😍

[@reemj3675]

I used U pins from the floral department to poke & make the tufts. Used pliers to twist them tightly & bend them down on the back. Then glued large crystal stones on to cover instead of buttons. Was really fast since U pins can be pointy & love the crystals. Could have glued on buttons but I like crystals. Great job. I love when our ladies can DIY. #toolbeltdivas

How absolutely resourceful!!!!!! How refreshing it is to see someone who’s actually using their mind. Great job!

No point buying expensive ones when you can make one 👍

[@DiamondLily712]

I came looking for the comments about that exact part! Lol

[@Love_Meat_Tender]

A cool tip: I bought normal buttons and then glued them to shorter screws and fastened them with washers. Then my dad helped me to add plywood to the back of mine. But you did an awesome job. I just don't have the patience for making buttons! lol

[@nicolelise]

That’s a great tip. I wanted the buttons to match the headboard though!

[@ntuthu263]

Awesome!!!

[@yazmynebright5892]

What's washers cuz I'm not really wanting to make buttons either

[@larap.6334]

That’s one of the best tips I have ever heard, especially because I am terrible at anything involving sewing techniques. I have been planning to make a headboard, now it will be easier and probably even better looking!

Thank you for making this video! We used this to make our own but instead of fabric we reused some old peel and stick wall paper. It turned out great!

Interesting!

[@Sharonnecs]

Awesome! I like the cardboard box for the light weight. Makes it much easier to move the location of the bed!

[@kathiawoola3618]

I use cardboard boxes for everything, I paint floral prints on them or cover with wallpaper. I've made Jewelry boxes dividers for my dresser drawers holders for beauty products and of course for my craft supplies and now I have to make a headboard using your technique, thank you for that great idea.

Very creative. Damn, when I think back to all that cardboard I threw out, lol. I could have made a headboard.

[@nikkitobin8356]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i said the same thing

[@happee4ever]

I did this years ago for my daughters. They look great on queen size mattresses too. More of an Asian look. One i due, she had a twin bed & i put the box spring long ways behind the bed to the floor. I used an old comforter for cushion on the box spring. I bought material that had a ruffle look. Came out so cute, and looked very grand. The other one, i actually used a faux silk curtain panel, wrapped it around the back to the wood & cushion was an old comforter and stapled away... looks beautiful. No need for the cardboard boxes or tuffed look unless you have a lot of patience

READ THIS COMMENT: Hi everyone! Thank you for watching this video! My headboard is not attached to the wall; it is propped up on the frame FYI (for all inquiring).

Hello and great video!!! If you were to attach it to the wall what method would you use?

[@livinglifeonedayatatime2761]

Good to know

[@LivingFREE307]

@@theredheadtherapist I heard of some peel and stick type hooks that fit into one another. So like the one you put on the headboard is facing down and the one on the wall is up and they fit in each other. Going to look into it myself.

Really resourceful Lady !! Someone who thinks outside the box as they say 😎😎. Thanks for sharing. Heaps easier to transport the boxes and great for someone without a drill / drill skillls!! Fantastic.

[@isabellelaval7294]

How right you are! There's absolutely no way this old lady with arthritis could transport long, heavy pieces of anything despite my really wanting a new headboard for my double bed. I don't want to use a drill either. I think that investing in a glue gun is a good idea n I'll check out the price of a stapler like hers. There are no Walmarts here in France that sell those big boxes but I suppose that moving companies do. If I can't find her big poster boards I suppose I could do an extra layer of cardboard boxes. I'm motivated and after watching this video I see that the major obstacles are no longer a problem. This is a great project that'll keep me occupied during the worse of the Spring showers. Many thanks, Happy thoughts and Happy Spring to every one.

[@TJazzie26]

I agree with you on the arthritis lol I’d rather use boxes than wood, I’m going to invest in a glue gun and stapler as well lol

[@angelflot]

[@rojawilliams5065]

Actually it's not "fake" at all. This is a low budget way to achieve a high end product. She is NOT "infringing" on any manufacturer's pattents of production. Please ppl be careful how you use your word descriptions so you don't give or allow others to get the wrong ideas..

[@kathydt123]

You should've stapled down all the material tightly so there were no wrinkles, bumps, creases, etc, THEN put the buttons on, pulling them as tight as possible. (Hint: It would've been easier to tighten the buttons & tie them off if you put another, plain button or washer on the back.

[@suesilva5747]

The wrinkles is part of the headboard design.🤷‍♀️😊

[@taiyawilliams3365]

I've been watching videos on tufted headboards for the past couple of weeks, and yours is by far my favorite! Wonderful job❣️ Idk if anyone else suggested this, but you can buy cheap flat buttons for the back. If I were making it for a kid's room, it would be more of a concern. Tie knot in the thread, feed through button through to the front, then through covered button and back through the flat button. Use it as an anchor and tie it in a knot. Not necessary for you, but if you had someone prone to pick at things, it would help add stability.

Fantastic idea, tho' I would like to suggest that you iron your fabric and then glue it tightly around all the sides BEFORE tufting as you would get a much smoother fit! However, what an inspiration! You must certainly have a creative mind!

[@nicolelise]

Thanks for the compliment & suggestion. However I wanted a more defined tuft which is why I did not staple the fabric down first. 🙂

[@msknucb1149]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@DesolateAura]

Good job! You should be very proud, but just a little bit of opinion here: if you ever make another one, make sure that your fabric is a bit tighter. The effect you want to make it look more luxurious is that you get it nice and tight with a little diamond effect between the buttons. Although your buttons are even and everything, it has a sort of “messy” look where all the creases are just sort of there between the rows instead of creating a square shape nice and consistent 🤗

[@agnesm.w.5937]
