Hands down, not only easiest & least expensive headboard, but also rental-friendly AND great for those of us who don’t have all the tools and gadgets. Thank you!! 🫶🏼

Easiest and most economical headboard tutorial I've seen. Beautiful. 👏

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks so much 😊

[@otherryan]

I'm about to move and this is about to save me so much money 😂😂 I love how resourceful this is and that you got to recycle some extra fabric you had from another DIY project too! I don't think mine will turn out as pretty as this one but will definitely be doing this one 🔥

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks Ryan :) I'm so glad I got to use the rest of the fabric too! Good luck with the move! I'm looking forward to seeing the new back drop 😆

[@wutyitun6549]

The headboard turns out great. I am impressed how you could make it out of a cardboard. Super nice and affordable DIY.

Oh so resourceful! And it came out elegantly beautiful! For $50 it’s super win!!! I need to save my cardboards for projects like this. ❤️

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks so much! It was perfect that Yamin had a stack of boxes left from moving (:

How to install head board diy in the thankyou new subscriber here

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you! I explained in the video - we used command strips to stick it on the wall :)

[@LetsFocusOnChrist]

Now that it’s been a year, how did it hold up?

[@Euniceathome]

The staples have come loose in a few spots but is an easy fix - just re staple!

[@catrc9587]

Loved it!! Looks amazing and it's so affordable, it's exactly what I looking for, easy, cheap and gorgeous! I'm definitely going to do this diy, thank you so much for the idea!

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you!! It's a great alternative to buying one 😊

[@aalegalfocus]

Wow, I can't believe you can just tape it against the wall. It looks great and you made it look easy!

[@Euniceathome]

I was doubtful at first but command tapes are very secure! Thanks Judy 😊

[@viclucy-personalfinanceinv7533]

The headboard looks beautiful! it came out so well. How much do you think this costed?

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you!! 😊Excluding the stapler gun, it cost ~$50 (fabric + foam + quilt batting)! Some ways to reduce cost is to not use quilt batting or use some sort of blanket/quilt you already have at home

[@dinarusso3320]

It's also cheaper to buy a cheap mattress pad instead of craft foam. I found one at Walmart for $15, and she is right about the batting, it does look a lot smoother with it, but you can use an old blanket or comforter.

[@emilylu7608]

Wow you did this out of cardboard?!? You can literally make anything I'm so impressed !!

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you 😊🥰

[@MikeWangCoaching]

Looks great! How resourceful. Can't wait to see the full makeover!

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks Mike (:

[@StephEatsnTravels]

What a cheap af diy!!

[@Euniceathome]

Yes!!

[@Allycastlemakeup]

It’s so luxurious!!!!

Love the headboard!!!!

Staples fall out of cardboard

[@NaysaChukwura]

Easy😂

[@babywaffles9985]

I love this idea but for renters, I think it'll attract roaches, since they love cardboard

[@Euniceathome]

ahh thanks for sharing this!!

[@TwinsTry]

holy cow that turned out so well! surprised me how easy it was!

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you!! :)

[@JoannaRoxanne]

It came out so great!!! I wish I had that imagination to create DIY things Haha 😍

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks so much!! It's in you (:

[@Allycastlemakeup]

I didn’t realize the importance of ironing it while laying down the fabric

[@hriathriati6762]

Will the stapler easily fall off?

[@Euniceathome]

It can fall off depending on how much you plan on leaning on the headboard, etc. just may have to re-staple here and then. hope that helps!

[@LifeofWalk]

Kinda cool! You could probably do smaller panels too!

[@barbaramwelwa6799]

This is beautiful

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you! :)

[@DailyJasmineTea]

So impressed how the headboard turned out

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you!! :)

Thanks nikipoo ❤️❤️

[@SundayswithJamie]

Wow this came out so great!! Wish I didn’t buy a bed w/ a headboard so I could do this 😂

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks Jamie!! haha I need to catch up on your new place! 🥰

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks so much for the support! 😊

[@popisvlogs8286]

Great DIY. It looks really awsome. Hello from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you!! 😊

[@JenP2776]

I’m totally stealing this idea!! it doesn’t appear as though the staples went all the way through to the front. Do you happen to recall, or would you recommend, a particular staple size? The smallest I have for my staple gun right now is 10 mm, but I know that you can get as short as 4 mm.

[@Euniceathome]

I'm sorry I don't remember the staple size, but we did have to re-staple a few months later. I would recommend whatever works for the thickness of your mat 😊

[@brooklynwilson_]

Oh my goodness stop that, you literally just did that while using cardboard! You seriously make everything so neat and nice, like you are somewhat of a perfectionist and it just definitely works in your favor! I love how affordable and unique this is!

[@Euniceathome]

Thanks Brooklyn! 🥰haha I definitely am a perfectionist, that's so funny that you can sense that! You always leave the sweetest meaningful comments ❤️❤️

[@Euniceathome]

[@s43.]

hi, what's the update 1.5 years later? are the foam still the same thickness and it doesnt smell foul?

[@Euniceathome]

Hi, my friend has had it for a year and there was no foul smell and the foam has maintained shape. The upholstering can loosen up which you can restaple to tighten. Hope that helps!

[@Keiashleybanks]

Looks great!! What size cardboard did you use? Or would you suggest?

[@Euniceathome]

Thank you! We measured it to the width of the full sized bed. I’d recommend going about 2-3inches wider than your bed frame so it looks more even when you’ve got bedding on it 😊

[@youtubie1]

What are the dimensions? I have a queen size bed and want to do something similar but don’t know how tall/wide to make it

[@Euniceathome]

This was for a full sized bed and I made it to the width of the bed frame. For the height - we did as far as the cardboard folded, but it's really up to how high you want your headboard! Good luck and thanks so much for watching 😊

[@AliceTan29]

Omg this is sooooo cool!!

Thanks Alice!! 😊
