[@deborah5568]

Wow that's so beautiful and cost effective! Thanks a bunch for sharing!

[@JenniferAdams]

Thank you!

[@bettyml7598]

love it, very simple. thank you

[@nanacybersliver8411]

Thank you, thank you and thank you. This is the easiest way to do a headboard. Watching another Utube was heavy and harder to work around the plywood. Again, thank you for a brilliant second option. Cheers

[@petra3049]

I agree- that's what I saw a lot of people using wood. Heavy and saws and screws and whatever else you need.

[@katherinebraxton5068]

Love it! Absolutely Awesome!

[@mangoyacho]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing such a great idea!

[@LorraineJG]

Pretty, thanks, so tiered of tufted, this is a nice switch.

[@skyyw1943]

Thank you so much. I'm going into the " headboard " business. I will use your video for all my headboard designs. Thanks

[@petra3049]

Wicked cool- you go girl! I was thinking the same thing. Much easier than dealing with wood right....

[@kaly49ify]

that is awesome! , I'm from Chile, and I was looking for something like this, thanks!

[@shilishalopez1592]

This was my favorite diy 😍😍😍

[@samantharaghoo9950]

you're doing a fantastic job...keep it up...lover the glow

[@bethnelson7333]

Thanks for the great idea, love this

[@rachaelvarnish]

I'm doing this! Thank you so much!!!!

[@AKTSFORLIFE]

this is gorgeous! I will be using cardboard but stacking a few and gluing them on top of one another for a more sturdy headborad.

[@donnitahurt5619]

Great job! I really like it

[@jasminepeters7595]

Thank you so much! This was super easy! Is it possible to tuff this or is it not strong enough?

[@chasingviews4219]

I am making the same scalloped corner. How do you wrap the fabric around the scalloped part? Do you cut the fabric in the same horseshoe shape first?

[@kmsy200]

You did a great job thanks for sharing

[@kendrab825]

OMG genius! Thank you!

[@Themakeupolic]

all you have to do then is switch the card board with ply board to make it last. this is a great quick diy project especially for a kids room or even your room. p.s. just don't lean on the head board.

[@Love_Meat_Tender]

Themakeupolic I agree, plyboard is a cheap, sturdy, and relatively light weight material to use.

[@lindathompson8339]

How would you easily cut a scalloped corner with plywood? You’d need a jigsaw wouldn’t you?

[@jasminecloud5598]

[@omekamoore662]

Love this!!!

[@JenniferAdams]

Thanks so much :)

[@mariet14]

I think I'm going to do this! me being 8 month pregnant it's an easy DIY! plywood would last longer but it's something temporary for my room. also I was thinking to hold it up get two 2x4 and secure it with gorilla glue, that stuff is amazing. and just lean it against the wall.

[@zaneblane8160]

love it!

[@kimberlymarshall3977]

Great job!!! 😊

[@enna4986]

Beautiful! I need to beef it up a bit yo make it stronger, but great idea! Btw nice house

[@cch3943]

Thanks for the video. It is a pretty good way to work for DIY headboard but I rather use plyboard instead of cardboard. However, while I was watching your video ... I couldn't take my eyes away from the decorative items around your house ... They have their own unique character, nice, elegant and very classy.

[@02tjames]

Very nice I love it.

[@deborahdacosta9009]

Easy and super cute thanks

[@roxanneflowers4790]

Beautiful

[@aliciayoung4348]

Lovely Job. 😚💝Those Extremely Large Vases in Your Living Room How Nice!!!! A Bamboo Plant Would. Go Well in Them. Good Taste.

[@kitwood917]

Great tutorial

[@altagraciaperalta8212]

Beautifull 👍👍👍

[@pattyzulas3782]

[@philrose7716]

Brilliant

[@sweetpink8718]

Hello thanks for the video. Have a quick question. Where did you purchased your foam from?

[@missarcene4345]

Great!

[@shaziafayyaz3149]

Excellent

[@claraboston7428]

Would have been nice to have seen how you wrapped the cutouts. But still nice.

[@munchkinm6929]

Great idea I'm using it to cover my fireplace for my toddlers play room

[@moonyeenlabramonte8289]

nice idea,tnx.

[@melissagonzalez6573]

Love love it

[@agnesparke-james4279]

Thanks!

[@NaturallyGifted77]

Even if you do not use fabric you can use a flat sheet

[@natashathompson904]

Jennifer i want to do a tufted design on my head and foot board can you make a video showing me how to do so

[@sahidaansar5914]

Awesome

[@ombewphitol6968]

Bagus sekali...terima kasih Getting better...

[@camaliabennett6280]

I am going to make this

[@risasweeny7142]

I just found you and so glad I did. Now I can start my headboard ! New subscriber :)

[@ranstxx]

How did you get the fabric to lay flat around the curved corners you cut?

[@ChrisMum]

Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove brass upholstery studs from an existing headboard as I want to recover it? Thanks in advance......great video.

[@lifewithlikklegemm]

Omg im so excited to make mines!! Thanks

[@joystewary8013]

Thanks

[@karenfronc169]

Great.......I think I can do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@taykena6718]

can you give us the names of material and equipment used and where you got them.

[@peggybrooks5640]

Wow

[@antrynettemiller5857]

how much fabric is needed for a king size headboard?

[@erindav1]

Any big box store or furniture store you could get big cardboard from. They would be grateful to give it away.

[@cocodiane9070]

Nice 😚😚

[@qtgirl8267]

I find it hard hard for Staples to stay in the cardboard versus wood do you have that problem or does anyone if so what would be a solution and what can I use alternative for batting I heard fleece blankets what do you think Jennifer or anyone

[@Huntington446]

try foam board....I am going to try it with foam board....goodluck!

[@nso-yineruth1092]

can you use a plain wood

[@loritaylor383]

Very nice job and I love that you didn't make it a 20-minute video. I think it would be best to push the headboard against the wall---I don't think 3 m will make it stick

[@NaturallyGifted77]

This is are one! I am not done watching the video yet?

[@marumontijo3657]

How you do the top corners ,, is not on video

[@farnella_me]

Please vlog how to make a bed for kids that can also make kids

[@petra3049]

You never showed how you did the scalloped ends. Why is that ?

[@mitchelledwards8710]

Won’t last long if you’re using carbourd it needs to be plywood

[@lantisnorman6965]

King size

[@lindalopez8]

im scared that as soon as i lean on it, i would pull the fabric bringing out those staples and ruining the fabric, i fear it won't last at all :(

[@beautysolutions87]

Linda Lopez just use a piece of ply or hardboard instead of cardboard if you can afford it

[@ridawaheedwaheed8742]

you are beautiful really

[@rayajoycenajjar5613]

Umm...thought that was a box cutter?

[@Micamouse8]

How did you hang it up on the wall.

[@theladyofsoul5023]

She said velcro could be used to protect the wall.

[@JasmineGee]

I would use a french cleat or some industrial picture hangers!

[@SATISHKUMAR-wv5qp]

you speak so lovely

[@juliadawnyel3648]

Can use sheet ok

[@lornadh9644]

Wonderful headboard idea for me! However, I will replace the fabric with patterned contact paper that suits my taste.

[@christinamangelo]

Well you left out the most important part that l was interested in and that was the corners it would have been nice to see how that was done you made a mistake for everyone so it was only ok video for that reason only if you are teaching a craft then show the whole thing not five minutes in and then finish.

[@rachelsremedies2602]

Geez! Headboards are so freaking cheap! Why would anyone want to make one!

[@sportangelv9027]

Awesome
