This video deserves more recognition thank you for being very detailed!

[@barb-y7z]

My husband and I loved your video; we looked at a lot of videos! Best one! Clear directions and great demonstration. THANK YOU!

[@designedbydee1906]

That was ridiculously neat. Attention to details was absolutely phenomenal. Good job......love it.

[@braidsbyboogie]

Finally found this video after all these years!!! I am about to do this and I can barely wait to get to the store!

[@kcseven9211]

@@braidsbyboogie good luck!

[@cindyh4174]

Your step-by-step instructions are the best I've found. I have all of the materials but haven't been able to find anyone who could make it idiot-proof for me. I finally understand how to pull the buttons through and get the diamond-shaped tuft I want. Thank you!

[@knightlyrose4719]

Hands down the BeST diy video & Results. I've seen yet!!! Been researching Tufted headboards for a lil over a year. Very practical, and straight to the point. Kudos, Keep em coming!!!

[@DavidLonelyman]

The most detailed and knowledge I've gotten from a diy on the yt

[@Willpayforsleep]

Same!

[@beebeetee2926]

One of the best tufted headboards that I have seen. Nice and taut. Nice definition.

[@kcseven9211]

+BeeBee Tee oThank you!

[@teresahaven9222]

This is about the 10th video I've watched to see how to do this. You do some of the same things a friend of mine does when re upholstering automobiles. I just wasn't sure of a good way to secure the buttons on the back. I plan on doing a floating headboard. I've got all those tools laying around the house somewhere, the grandsons keep taking off with things. I was originally thinking nail gun and just gluing on jems. With this video I feel more confident trying it. Thanks so much!!!

[@atlantisguy3222]

Thank you KC, this is exactly what I was looking for, a tutorial on how to make headboards with no used of very expensive tools. This tutorial is very easy to follow because you do explain it step by step.

[@theoriginalgrategrabber4718]

Nice Job KC! I wasn't comfortable about scoring the foam until I saw your final product which looks to be neat & tidy as well as precise and down right dramatic. Other tutorials do not score the foam but rather show a lot of placing, tucking and tightening instead. I also really like the printed burlap on back. Yeah, maybe no one will probably ever see it but what a great looking surprise if they do.

[@MsMadarisM1982]

Amazing Tutorial, Amazing Diy. I've been searching for a the Perfect quilted headboard for my Guest Bedroom for months now. Decided to make it myself and couldn't find a relatable and informative Tutorial. Most require expensive materials and really difficult Steps. finally found one that is budget friendly and with simple instructions!!! Thanks

[@dianesturgis3893]

I would love to see a plain jane head board redone into a stunning headboard!!!

[@kcseven9211]

Thanks for the suggestion. That just may be the next venture I post.

[@dianesturgis3893]

Can't wait to see what you redesign!

[@prettybykim9605]

Excellent headboard.....waiting for more videos!

[@JayJ-rd2dw]

omg. i just turned the closed caption on and what i read was beyond hilarious. lmao. Thank you for amazing DIY and the CC is cherry on top.

[@blechblech5043]

I absolutely love the gathering and pulling on the fabric, towards the diamonds. There have been so many tutorials for tufted items, and I haven't been able to find one that looks like this.

[@claireburkus8497]

Great respect for your work!! Reupholstered when I was young and now want to do tufted ottoman reupholster!! You give me the courage to tackle the job now that I am retired!! Thanks!!

[@bjarbj944]

You did a much better job than other videos that breeze through important parts.

[@priscillaannbrown7882]

Wow! KC, I've watched a lot of video about making a headboard. Your work is beautiful, chic and very professional looking. Great.

[@tonybp965]

KC, that is BANGING! OMG bro, very detailed explanation. After I complete my 3 batik frames, I'm running over to Jo's and doing the same. Thank you.

[@integrityintruth]

I spoke too soon, I think the first part looked easy - I have those same trash can to set wood on!! - yet then see your much more precise than I wanted to go - yet your headboard looks amazing and I learned new tips!

[@MrShavaughnya]

I have watched a few of these videos and the finished product is either a little too simple looking- just slightly lacking that luxurious quality- or so professional it's not possible for the regular person. Those slits you put in the top layer of foam put your project into that luxurious category. And you made vinyl look like leather with your thoughtfulness. Great job!

[@linda3069]

The cut makes it outstanding.

[@DonalRomano]

Broooo! Inspired! now off to do mine for a King bed with crocodile vinyl with tufting to match my matrix wingbacked chairs! Awesome results!

[@dawnchristensen2393]

Wow that is a nice looking headboard. The colour is pretty.

[@justmyordinarylife2628]

Beautiful. Best I’ve seen thus far. I will be using your technique for my king headboard.

[@kchism1]

out of all tutorials I've watched...this is the best one!...very well explained directions, and I was able to follow from start to finish and you have the most professional looking results...great job!

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I've watched many DIY headboard tutorials & your way seems so much easier & not to mention, one of the prettiest I've seen!!! I'm so inspired to make my own now! Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much!

[@TheLoveweaver]

Kelly Sevy I would first make sure what kind of King bed you have? Is it a regular King size or California King? You can easily then Google for the measurements. ie:a Queens iced bed is usually 60"w x80"l. I would then give and extra two inches on each side and then whatever height you desire from the top of your mattress (that will depend on the height of your particular bed.)

[@mztstewart01]

Beautiful!! please do more diy's

[@kharyzma4u]

This is beautiful! GREAT JOB!!! Thanks for sharing! I will try this. I have a headboard in pink like this, but I want to make another one myself. I like the idea of the vinyl because it doesn't get as dirty as a faux suede. Thanks again!
