MAKE YOUR OWN ART HEADBOARDS FOR YOUR BED AND FRIENDS' BEDS
MAKE A BUSINESS doing 'CUSTOM HEADBOARDS, Invite clients to DESIGN YOUR OWN'

I have a friend who found a plain wood headboard that she covered with padding, then salvaged textiles. She could have used a pretty sheet, could have quilted squares of different fabric 'ends' which go for pennies at fabric stores. She could have gone posh and tie-dyed velvet upholstery fabric. She could have cleaned attics for a living and collected hundreds of yards of textile ends to join together in a quilted effect. All the grannies who want their old houses reorganized have chests of fabric. BUY it from them. A granny thinks a half buck a yard is good money. Launder, starch and press them before using. Cuz they're OLD.

For the padding my friend used a single bed foam mattress pad that she cut and glued to the old  headboard. One could double an old thrift store quilt to make thicker padding. One needs a luxurious thickness behind the head.

Her job looked pretty professional and didn't cost her more than a couple dollars when you factor in the staple gun and box of staples and hot glue gun and sticks, cording, thread for sewing cording into the final shape. And fabric salvaged from the thrift store.

Inspired, I found a couple of old wood doors (1940's) that are solid and distressed that I am doing for my headboard. I'm not covering mine with anything. I like distressed wood. But I piled up six pillows that I'd covered with thrift store pillow slips.
