Up-Cycled Headboard

If you aren’t keen on the idea of making a new headboard from scratch, then why not up-cycle a headboard you’ve already got in your home? You can even use the one that’s currently on your bed. Or, take a quick trip to the thrift store to search for a cheap, old headboard. The possibilities with this project are endless, and only limited by your imagination.

For example: you can cut out some strips of wood and nail them to your headboard in a design of your choosing. Or, if that’s a little more than you want to do, simply strip the old headboard, sand, and repaint it a solid color, or turn it into a painting. You can even strip it, sand it, and simply apply a stain or varnish to give it a little bit of a facelift.
