Channel Tufted Headboard

If you aren’t one for traditional headboards, then this design by Emily Henderson is something that you must try for yourself. Not only does it add some elegant texture and interest to a bedroom, but it can also serve as a shelf for your books, or a small art collection. Try layering some paintings together, just like the pictures, to add some extra dimension to your finished look.

This one is simple to make, but you’ll want to make sure you have a free weekend set aside to get it all done. You’ll need plenty of your favorite fabric, a long sheet of plywood—maybe several, depending on the size of the wall—lots of stuffing, and some basic sewing skills. Sew up five long tubes of the fabric, making sure they’re the right length for your backboard, stuff them until they are nice and firm, sew up the ends, and then attach them to the plywood with a staple gun for extra security.
