Making Headboards From Scratch....

is a bit of trial and error, a lot of duct tape, and some fishing line.....but Sophie loved it in the end!


It started with some sketches on plywood.............After hand cutting out everything, assembling, and standing it up, we realize it's pretty tall...better measure it and our ceiling hight....hhmmm...both are exactly 8 feet. No worries, I will break off the tip when we move it into the room : )


Then we all painted it....


And here is the final product! She loves it! Its hard to tell but the pink up and down part in the middle actually is bent and curves out so it has some depth. The pillar roofs are covered in straw grass stuff, really messy, but it works. Oh, and the pink details at the top of the towers are upside down foam crowns.
