Try clearance areas of furniture stores, also Facebook Market place. is a great place to look, if you feel you cannot make your own.
You could skip making a headboard and decorate the wall space above instead. I found a beautiful scrolled metal heart and Hobby Lobby for under $5 that I used in my girls' bedroom. Much prettier, easier, and cheaper than a headboard. Bonus is I don't have to worry about them bumping the headboard on the wall when they flop down on the bed.
