DETAILED! DIY Oversized Tufted King Bed | How to Build a King Bed for $500 | Purp by the Curl

[@PurpByTheCurl]

*****TIPS***** Purchase fabric using coupons if you're going to a store like JoAnns --this is where I got my fabric from Use Upholstery Fabric for the BEST outcome. Other fabric will work but it may tear Use a work bench if you have it available Use a nail gun for the frame instead of screws if available Drape fabric & leave enough to cover the sides before cutting

You did good bay and thanks for the advice 🖤

[@PurpByTheCurl]

@@kenyadacobbins2704 thank you 🥰

[@walkerinmotionllc8618]

Your exactly right. When I built my patio furniture, I bought my fabric and foam from an upholstery store.

[@Wanderlyashley]

Love it 💜. I’ve been wanting to make one for almost a year now. You’ve motivated me.

[@PurpByTheCurl]

Thank you! Go for it!!

[@RockStar_Love]

How did it work out for you??

[@Wanderlyashley]

@@RockStar_Love I ended up buying one 🤣😩. I really wanted a canopy bed in the end. The amount of work I did for an already made bed was a lot! It's definitely time consuming but if you have the motivation you can build it!!

[@fuzzypants101]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I'm moving in November and have been searching online for a month trying to see a super detailed video on how you designed everything. Thank you!

your tufting method is way easier, better and neater than the ones with the needle. Thanks for the video I will be using your technique! good job

That’s great to hear! Have you had a chance to make it yet?

[@shakiylaking7288]

I love it but I’m new to this And I got to learn how to understand measurements I should’ve made sure I was alert in school when I was being taught this 😩

[@PurpByTheCurl]

Lol I made sure the measurements were marked where I could remember them so either while numbers or half’s

Hello I love your mattress. Will you be able to post the measurements for a queen size please?

[@PurpByTheCurl]

I believe I posted them in the comments but theres another young lady who built the queen size on here as well with the measurements

[@itstwinkle04]

the way she was explaining the button pattern had me sit up straight , felt like my mom trying to explain my homework . IF. YOU, KEEP WATCHING😐😳

[@PurpByTheCurl]

😂😂 I tried

[@shanekah2902]

Hello, will this frame fit out of your door or down your steps when you move? If not do you think disassembling and reassembling is possible with the same pieces of wood?

You did good! Now when my house is ready be prepared lol

[@sherrymillermiller4205]

Hi I’m in the process of making this bed and your video has been my guide so thank u for that my question is how did u connect the side boards to the head board

[@Funnycontent159]

Good job

[@kidablue]

Good job 👌🏾

[@torilove9480]

Hello I really like how you did this lol but my question is your bed a Cali King or King size

[@Harleybostic]

How far apart was the holes on the headboard ? Trying to understand this so I can make one for a queen bed 😩 and can I use velvet ?

[@sarahfrancisco572]

Beautiful work! I’m obsessed. Did you leave the screws/washers used to make the tufting pattern visible or did you cover them with something? I see so many upholstered beds with buttons of the same fabric or either crystals, but never screws. I want to recreate this but I wasn’t sure how it would look up close with screws.

[@PurpByTheCurl]

I left them uncovered because they look like like silver buttons upon walking up on it. I would suggest covering them to your liking

[@meechy1996]

How did you connect the headboard to the bed, and was it stable?

[@Earthangel171]

Bad bad chic love it

[@jenwarner6687]

Hello. You did an amazing job. Did you cover the screws after you were done?

[@PurpByTheCurl]

For the tufting? No I didn't. I was going to cover them but when looking at the bed, it looks like silver buttons

[@Funnycontent159]

Good job babes

[@aleahodge2593]

Great job I would like to try, however what size mattress do you have? I know you said you did an oversized king frame but I want to purchase a ling mattress and wondering if your measurements would work out.

[@PurpByTheCurl]

I have a king mattress

[@yulie135]

Very nice! Props

When adding the tuff screws, once you screw down what are you taking out

What's type of fabric is that?

[@aceboogie8826]

How much did the fabric cost you?

[@26hazelnut]

Love it how much did you spend on it

[@PurpByTheCurl]

about $500

[@danielleclark3439]

Hey, so you bought the plywood and had the people at the store cute them for you? How many plywoods boards did you use to be cut? If that makes since...

[@PurpByTheCurl]

Yes I think it was a total of 3-4 boards. The guy at Home Depot helped me to determine how many pieces I needed with my sizing

[@kingandnuk3484]

With making the side rails and foot rest did u leave an opening ? Or did u close it up ??

[@PurpByTheCurl]

I left it open, each piece can be removed from the bed at anytime

[@rissarodriguez3848]

How much fabric do I have to buy there’s no measurement of how much fabric I should get or how much of the mattress pad and other stuff besides the wood

[@PurpByTheCurl]

I used any where between 10-15 yards of fabric. As far as the mattress pads, it depends on how thick you want it and the measurements you're using for your bed.

[@NyKiiAB00]

Is the mattresses on the floor or are they sitting on something? I plan on building this soon and want to make sure I’m not missing anything

[@PurpByTheCurl]

On box springs and my mattress is naturally high as well

[@2006shavaughn]

Do you remember what type of 2 inch plywood you used??

[@PurpByTheCurl]

No I don't

[@Earthangel171]

I want the circle one bad

[@taejastarks6312]

. What’s the measurements if you wanna do a queen size bed ?

[@taneshanixon5381]

How did you get the footboard & the sides to stick together if you get what I’m saying. I see how you made the bed but how do everything connects?

[@PurpByTheCurl]

The footboard and side rails aren’t connected at all. So I kept it as 3 separate pieces so it’s easy for me to move around my room.

[@aleahodge2593]

@@PurpByTheCurl do they move?

[@melaninrich6917]

Hi, how many sheets of plywood did you purchase?

[@ramonawhite1885]

Can you post a comment with the exact measurements for a king size bed? I’m having a hard time understanding the description. If I have 100” boards what are the exact measurements for the side rails & foot bench?

[@PurpByTheCurl]

Hey all of the exact measurements are at the beginning of the video for the boards and king size bed

[@rcarner86]

can the boxes open to be used for storage?

If you build them that way ..mine aren’t

[@Jcosmo]

Is this price including the bed

[@PurpByTheCurl]

If you’re referring to the mattress we already owned that. The price is for materials to build the bed

[@lejandrab3b341]

Pls people Tio here if you want to do this you need support in the middle of this benches and on the sides too who wants something to come up beautiful if is not gonna hold and brake easy and fast have in mind how this this wood is people who works with wood know that it will brake easy on sides as well because the nails are to close to the ends so the wood starts opening you can close this with side brackets trust me and the middle of your bench needs support you can make some legs in the middle and every quarter there are so many ways to do you can said ohh but iam not gonna sit on them but trust me now and then you forgot and put your buttocks there or a basket of clothes I sit twice on mine iam 140lb not heavy and it brake and I bought it from a expensive furniture store so I did this and I fix it it only brake from inside too thing 😉

[@PurpByTheCurl]

Sir or ma’am please! You’re doing the absolute most. The bed is not going to BREAK - make sure you spell that right next time. Also you should educate yourself on wood to know how it works. Have a blessed day!
