This no-sew, no tools required update is an easy and affordable way to revive a metal headboard. Simply drape a length of fabric, whether it’s yardage, a woven floorcloth, or a blanket, over an existing headboard. Clip both sides of the fabric together with curtain rings, and loop ribbon through the ring and around the bed frame and secure with a bow. Use several curtain rings on both sides of the headboard.
Faux Bois Faux Headboard
Instead of constructing a headboard, paint one on the wall behind your bed. To make this faux bois headboard, you'll need a wood-graining tool, a rubber roller that is engraved with a wood-grain pattern. Look for the tool in the paint section at a crafts store. Mask off the area where you'll be painting the headboard with painter's tape. Paint a base coat (we used a light blue); let dry. Mix 4 parts glaze medium with 1 part paint in a darker color. Apply the glaze mix using the wood-graining tool and following the manufacturer's instructions of rocking the tool back and forth as you pull it across a surface. Repeat until complete. Remove masking and let dry. Spray with a clear finishing sealer if desired.
Headboard Silhouette
Trace a curvaceous pattern on a piece of medium-density fiberboard, and cut out. Paint the edge white and cover the front with wallpaper. The pattern will look striking against a blank wall, doubling as artwork in a bedroom.: If using multiple pieces of wallpaper, take care to match the pattern for a chic, finished look.
Vintage-Look Headboard
Add a vintage country look to your bedroom with a feed-sack-covered headboard. A large feed sack provides enough fabric to cover a twin-size headboard. Staple two layers of batting over the front side of a piece of plywood, and then staple the feed sack on top of the batting. Pull the fabric taut as you add staples to the center of each side and then as you work your way to the corners. For a stunning finish, nail a piece of architectural salvage to the top of the upholstered headboard.
