For the bedding, I grabbed this budget-friendly comforter and paired it with some soft navy throw pillows and a gray pillow with tassels. This cozy chenille throw blanket is the perfect finishing touch, too!
Instructions
- Cut your wood according to the cut list in the plans (link below).
- Drill pocket holes using a pocket hole jig.
- Assemble headboard frame with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws.
- Sand smooth with 150 grit sandpaper and an orbital sander.
- Seal with a stain or oil of your choice.
- Soak cane webbing for 30 minutes to 4 hours so it can expand.
- Attach cane webbing to the frame while it is still damp using wood glue and staples.
- Hang on the wall behind your bed and you're done!
This easy-to-build DIY cane headboard was SO fun to make! And the best part is that we’re giving away the free woodworking plans on Kreg's website so you can make it too!

I really like the way this looks! I have no Idea where to get rattan, but there's probably a similar material out there. Wood and other materials are not that expensive, compared to a store bought headboard. 🐈️🐱🐴
