DIY Leather Tufted Headboard

Full tutorial and material list so you can make your own tufted headboard
This headboard was made over a couple of days and used materials easily found at a local fabric store, or even Target/Wal Mart. Though I made mine with leather, this can be done with any type of thick or upholstery fabric.
Materials include plywood, mattress foam and batting - see blog post for full list with tools.
