Easiest and Cheapest Shabby "Headboard" Ever!
by E4lizerd
Here is what I did to create a "headboard" for our room. we are on a tight budget, and trying to go to a "shabby" look..My inspiration was a display at an antique store. I bought several pictures at a garage sale for next to nothing. I think the largest one was $5! I removed the glass and pictures, and "painted" all the frames with Gesso. (cheap!) It leaves a distressed look without any extra effort on my part!
The hanger was from Ikea, a Diginet Stainless Steel Curtain wire that cost $12.99. We also purchased the hooks at Ikea. We are most pleased with the results!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Did you cut the frames at a cerysin part or did you just glued them l8ke thst?
I was thinkin' of your bedspread, blanket or quilt and the colors.......maybe adding a color to match in each frame, in a design of your own choice, would add some color, since you have a white background.....colors to co ordinate with your top cover on your bed. BLING! Maybe painting each frame to match???? Painting your bed to match the frames?
Can you sit up in bed? I think I would be bumping my head on corners if l tried to to sit against the wall? I like to read in bed, so for me, I would perhaps do this behind a couch where back rest is already established or some plain wall begging for something different.
