DIY Linen Tufted Headboard

Last week I blogged about my process of planning for my own headboard. This week I want to share pictures of my process and the finished product!

I had a 4 X 8 foot sheet cut down to my desired size and then cut again in half so that it could fit it in my car.

I screwed in 4 small boards to put the 2 pieces back together and add some support.

I used a piece of card stock to create a simple template for the the shape of my headboard.

Safety first! Don’t forget to wear protective gear when cutting wood!

I used a jigsaw to cut out the corners I traced earlier with my template.

The sun was starting to go down, so hubby came to the rescue with his extra set of  (freakishly large) hands!

Ta da! The finished product, my very own linen tufted headboard. I had to try very hard to stay away from the fun printed upholstery fabrics at the store because I want to be able to change the duvet cover often without competing with a printed headboard.
