How to make a book headboard!

Step 6 Hang it!

We used two packages of 3M medium picture hanging strips.

You could screw it into a wall, but my walls are quite crumbly and my boyfriend at the time was worried about putting large holes into them.

These things are pretty nifty. I've used them for all the photos in the living room with no problems. I'll keep everyone updated as to if it falls down or not. It seems VERY sturdy at this point. The headboard is about 6 or 7 pounds, I'd say - so I think we'll be fine. :D

I bet binder notebooks could be used for this too, with the rings removed maybe...

Were the covers in the bottom layer all the same trim size? I can't quite tell, but it looks like that might be the case...

[jessyratfink]

Yep! They were all standard publisher size books. :)

I like this - I have bookshelves as my headboard but I may do this for the guest room

This is a BRILLIANT idea. I mean, honestly, the possibilities are endless! Not only can you use different colors, but maybe different items as well. I would love to try this, thanks for the great instructable!
