How to make a upholstered headboard

I wanted the bedroom area to have a cozy feeling.

So, decided to add an upholstered headboard to each twin bed.

I found many tutorials on line, it looked to be easy so, I gave it a try.

I used a pre-cut piece of peg board along with batting.

As you can see I doubled the batting on the area that will be above the mattress.

 Next I rolled the fabric and batting over the edge of the peg board and stapled it down.

Cutting it as needed if it was to long.
 

 

Using a red crayon I marked where I wanted to attach the buttons.

I thought this would give the front of the headboard a little definition.

I put a staple across the hole, then tied the

end of the thread to the staple to keep the button tout.

 

Not bad for about $10.

I think it will give the bedroom area a bit of charm.
