Ellen H on Nov 13, 2014A few years back, I saw some show on HGTV where they used starch (the kind you mix with water) to apply fabric to walls. it makes it removable as well. http://www.cre8tivedesignsinc.com/2013/04/how-to-wallpaper-with-fabric-using-starch/Helpful Reply

Shari on Nov 13, 2014This popular blogger, Miss Mustard Seed, did a whole wall treatment using fabric applied with starch in her master bedroom: http://missmustardseed.com/2013/02/fabric-wall-treatment/ I don't know why the same technique couldn't be used to mimic a headboard. The tutorial she wrote for HGTV on how to do it can be found here: http://www.hgtv.com/design/decorating/design-101/how-to-install-a-fabric-feature-wallHelpful Reply

Patty on Nov 17, 2014I saw that same program on HGTV. I gave it a try and it worked so well and a lot easier than wallpaper, and when I was ready to change it the fabric came off so easily.Helpful Reply

Mimi on Sep 16, 2015Try taping a piece of lace tightly to the wall covering the exact area you want to look like your headboard. Make sure it is pulled tight. Then lightly spray paint over the lace. Lightly is the key word. After it has dried, remove the lace and you will have a lace headboard. I have lace painted all kinds of things using all different patterns of lace. It is very beautiful.Helpful Reply
