New Headboard!!

This was such a fun project!! Ray and I have a queen bed that has been passed down to us and we did not have a headboard......so I thought I could make one. The colors I am doing are brown, tan, orange and touches of hunter green. I am so happy with out it turned out!!! It cost me less that $25 to make it whooop!! I saved some extra fabric to make me a little throw pillow.

When Ray bought his van it had shelves built in that he did not need. So when he took them down I saved a piece of the board and knew exactly what I wanted to do. I found my fabric at Hobby Lobby and it was 30% off! Another score!! I went to Target and bought a twin size eggcrate and was able to save some for another project!!
So we cut the eggcrate to the size of the board and then the fabric. We wrapped the board in the fabric and stapled to the back. We had some 2x4s in the garage that I painted brown and we nailed it in...done and done!

I absolutely love it! and Ray does too....who knew haha!!
