Introduction
I was inspired to create this double size head board because my son is so stuck on Star Wars . He can't get enough of it. The LED stars are perfect for a child that needs a little extra light at bed time. It takes them away to another world . Who wouldn't love to fall asleep under the stars ?
The project was created with a simple coloring book. If you can color in a color book, you can definitely accomplish this project with great results !
