It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

This DIY Headboard Is So Unique and Beautiful!

This headboard uses 2 classic American materials–leather and demin–to create a modern and rustic look.

According to onekingslane, here is what you will need to make it:

Upholstery foam (I cut two pieces of 22″ x 30″ x 2″ each)
2 yards of fabric (woven fabric like cotton or linen works best)
Wooden stretcher bars (four 22″ and four 30″ assembled to create two 22″ x 30″ wooden frames)
A staple gun
A drill and a screwdriver
Screws and wall anchors
1″ wood screws
2 yards of inch-wide belt leather
3 yards of leather cord
Scissors

This project has several steps but none of them are too difficult for a beginner.  You are basically going to be constructing 2 frames, covering them in upholstery with a staple gun…

…then attaching the leather hooks with screws and wall hangers.  And finally, affixing it to the wall with the leather cord.
