The Garden Frog with C Renee on Jan 06, 2014Padded headboards are easy to make and all you need is fabric of your choice, good staple gun, board cut to size of bed and height you want, twin foam mattress pad (cheap at walmart), and another fabric to place on top of the foam and under the good fabric. I have built many headboards this way. You can add embellishments such as lace for an added feminine touch.Helpful Reply
