The Before Picture
I love love love to sit in bed and read or blog, but I have no headboard to keep my pillows from sliding down between the mattress and the wall. So I am going to make a headboard today. I got these foam cushions, batting and red canvas last week at Hobby Lobby. The cushions are slightly too wide, but not to worry, I also have an electric carving knife which has never been used on anything but foam. I will trim the foam to fit the space.
The batting gets wrapped and sewn around the foam. And the canvas will be fitted tightly to the headboard. The cover will have to have a zipper in the bottom and I hope I have one that will work, in the garage storage...
I will post the finished product later.
Ah, Melody. You are the Queen of Ease.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make you the Quease?
Can't wait to see the finished product.
I have the same problem with my bed so I will eagerly await your results. I was going to have my friend, Holly, make me a wrought-iron headboard to match the coffee table and shelf she made me but $5000 was a bit steep!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime I need to find those coaster-like things that don't slide so I can put them under the wheels of the bed- I am getting tired of it rolling to the windows when the dog jumps up.....
