Drop Cloth Headboard Tutorial

Drop Cloth Headboard Tutorial

Tenth Avenue South

I’d swear it’s the exact same thing as this:

Susan’s father-in-law started the project by creating a design and template. This looks like the most difficult part.

They used two pieces of plywood.

Then Susanne and her mother-in-law took over.

They traced the headboard on foam, then cut it, and applied it with spray adhesive.

She laid out the drop cloth and two layers of batting. Then placed the headboard on top face down and stapled using the staple gun!

They wrapped the corners like a package

Ready for nailheads!

Susanne recommends placing the nailheads 1.5 to 2 inches apart.

Nail with a rubber head mallet.

Stand back and admire:

Beautiful! A nearly identical budget friendly alternative.

The drop cloth worked perfectly and was SO inexpensive! So many options to customize with different fabrics too (maybe a large table cloth or XL shower curtain even.)

Sort of makes you want to repurpose your old headboard and get upholstering, doesn’t it? Thanks for sharing your tutorial, Susanne. It’s awesome!
