Headboard for Bed

Hello!

Today I will tell you how I made a headboard for the bed ( you can reed how I did bed ). I couldn't decide which headboard I should do. And then I saw the slatted headboard. I liked it so much that I decided to make something similar. Counted the cost, it turned out inexpensive. Estimated cost $ 35.

Step 1:

At hardware store saw вoards, and I really liked their corrugated structure. The material is alder. The bed itself is made of pine, it is very different in color and texture from the alder. But I still decided to stop at the alder.

Step 2:

I buy:

Boards 1800*45*15 mm - 13 PCs. 28$

Furniture Board 1200*200*20 – 1 PCs 7$

Step 3:

First of all I made shelves. From the furniture Board it came 4 shelves. It's size 30*20 cm.

Step 4:

I'm going to start making the headboard.

I saw off 3 boards 565 mm long (9 boards 45 mm + 8 indents for shelves 20mm). Then I take 2 boards and twist them at a 90 degree angle. I put the shelf against the first Board. Then I put another Board. And squeeze all with a clamp. Fix the second Board. Repeat procedure with the next row.

Step 5:

Then fasten the sides. I will connect with pocket hole jig. It's my homemade conductor

Step 6:

Marking, where i need to drill holes

Step 7:

After I assembled the headboard, I carefully sanded the surface.

Step 8:

I found the rest of the RGB led tape. I decided to use it. I stick it on the perimeter, additionally glue with thermal glue.

Step 9:

It remains only to hang on the wall

Step 10:

The number of shelves and the location you can chose as you like.

Step 11:

In the dark the headboard looks even more spectacular!

Now, the bed was finished. It looks great in the interior. In the evenings, the lighting creates a cozy, romantic atmosphere. It is also important that it is 100% exclusive and the budget is not badly affected.

That's all. Until next time!

Very nice headboard! And your homemade pocket hole jig is pretty ingenious. You could make an instructable on how to make one of those - that would be really neat to see the process! : )

I love this and will definitely make it. How are you attaching it to the wall? I guess that most of the weight is supported by the bed but thinking of the potential for it to dislodge onto my head if not affixed well.

hello! i used such mounts for shelves on the wall. They are hidden and hold the load well
