The step by step show and tell

Okay, so I know its been a while

since I posted about our "new room"

but here it is--

the step by step show and tell

of how we made our own headboard....

step one/a: go to Lowe's to get the plywood

step one/b: go to your local fabric store to

choose your favorite fabric. Also, pick up

some extra thick batting.

step two: measure where button holes will

be going and drill holes.

step three: clean saw dust off wood

step four: put glue onto wood

step five: apply batting to glue

step six: iron fabric

step seven: staple fabric onto the now

batting covered plywood

step eight: smile at the camera to

show off your wonderful stapeling job!

step nine: make buttons, attach them to wire,

and ever-so-carefully push the wire through

the incredibly thick batting. Then, pull tight

and staple wire to wood.
step ten: have someone...even if

that someone is only 3 years old...find

out where your studs are in your wall.

step eleven: hang your new headboard! It was a lot of fun. We loved doing it

together and we SO MUCH enjoy

having this new addition in our room.

The end.
