Creative Personalized Headboards You Can Make ?

Answer 1

Hot for Headboards

The headboard is the focal point of the bedroom. If you have an existing headboard that you want to update, a coat of paint is the easiest way to create a new look for an old piece. But if you want to start from scratch and create a headboard that speaks volumes about your personality and style, consider using materials that aren't traditionally synonymous with "headboard." All you need is a piece of 1/4-inch plywood cut to the size and shape you want, and the inspiration to embellish it according to your own style.

Drill Holes for Illumination

Create an illuminated headboard by drilling holes with a hole cutter bit or use a jigsaw to cut out shapes. Paint and seal the headboard and glue colored glass to the back, over the holes. Attach rope lighting to the back of the headboard and plug it in, and let the colored light illuminate your room.

Nature Mosaic

Nature is a good theme for a bedroom, creating a relaxing, warm environment for sleeping. Use objects from nature to embellish your headboard. A mosaic of polished river pebbles, nature-colored glass, wooden blocks or even branches will give you a beautiful, serene, one-of-a-kind headboard.

Embossed Copper

The soft nature of copper allows it to be manipulated in ways other metals can't. You can etch designs into copper with any sharp tool, or pound tiny holes in it with a nail to create designs that can be illuminated from behind. Tin snips can remove larger designs from the copper, which can be replaced with amber colored glass for a rich, warm, illuminated headboard. This method calls for gluing or nailing the copper to a frame rather than a flat piece of plywood; cut out the center of the plywood with a jigsaw to allow the light to come through.
