Introduction: 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!
