Simple Wooden Headboard

Got a few bucks burning a hole in your pocket? Because that’s all you need to spend to make this amazing wooden headboard with its rich, dark finish. In fact, you can most likely make this whole piece for about $25. You might even be able to make it for free, if you’re using scrap wood and a stain you already have on hand.

Put a few pieces of the wood together, apply a dark brown walnut stain—or whatever dark stain you want— and let it dry. For an even richer look, apply a few more coats, allowing it plenty of time to dry in between. Then, all you need to do is mount it on the wall behind your bed, and you’re all set.
