Large and bright headboard bed - the key to the beautiful interior in the bedroom, designers are sure. We completely agree with them and therefore, we continue to share with you lessons on creating gorgeous headings with your own hands.
The soft headboard from the designer Bradie Tolberta can be made any length and hammering a cloth that you like. If you have enough enthusiasm, add the shelf to it and cover the base of the bed with the remains of the fabric. How - tell below.
You will need:
- The cloth. This project uses velvet olive color, but you can choose any other.
- Scissors. Conventional paper scissors are suitable.
- Boards. The boards of 15 x 2.5 x 400 cm were used here to make the headboard from the wall to the wall, you choose the length you need. You can right in the construction store ask to cut them up to the size you need.
- Furniture stapler. Manual or automatic.
- Screws. Ordinary screws for wood, not longer than the thickness of your board.
- Screwdriver / screwdriver. The latter is faster, but the screwdriver will help pump hands.
- Sintepon. Approximately as much as the fabric.
- Semicircular foam rollers. The same width that your boards.
- Connecting plates and (optional) corners.
1. We make billets
The main stage of the work. We conclude the boards with a cloth, to then collect them in the headboard.
Step 1. Estate the upholstery fabric face down, put a sintepon on it, then the porolon and, finally, the board.
Step 2. Wrap the resulting sandwich, tightly pulling the fabric. Make sure that the foam rubber does not move relative to the board. So you will understand what size of the sections of the fabric you need to cover every detail of the head of the head. In this case, it turned out to be sufficiently segments of a width of 45 cm.
Step 3. Hold each board. To do this, first assemble a sandwich, as in the step above, then fasten the fabric to the stapler on one side, straighten, stretch well and secure on the other side.
Step 4. Bend corners, as in the case of gift packaging, and secure them too. Watch that folds do not appear on the front side. But about the reverse you can not care hard: the main thing is that the brackets keep the fabric, and already carefully or not, no one will ever know.
2. Add thickness
The shelf from the top end is an optional headboard element, but it will separate it from the wall and will make a solid, besides, you can put pictures or books.
Step 1. Estate the fabric face down, immediately put the board on it.
Step 2. Having a cloth board by fastening it with a furniture stapler first on the one hand, then on the other.
Step 3. Bend and secure the corners.
Step 4. Screw three or four connecting corners to the shelf to attach it later to the headboard.
3. We collect headboards
We collect everything on the connecting plates.
Step 1. Put the heads nearby, align relative to each other (you can overtake the ends on one side into the wall) and take turns to the connecting plate.
Step 2. When all panels are connected, screw the shelf.
Ready! Simply, right? But this is not the end. If you have a podium bed, you can wore and its base-box.
You will need:
- Furniture stapler.
- Scissors.
- The cloth.
We upheat the base of the bed so that there are beautiful folds in the corners.
Step 1. Cut the fabric to upholstery of boxing angles.
Step 2. Make sure the length of the segment is not less than 30 cm. Fasten it with a stapler.
Step 3. Hold the sidewalls. To do this, you will need a segment of the fabric equal to the length of the bed plus 10-20 cm on the bending. Cut width - 2-3 boxing thickness. Secure the fabric to the stapler over the entire length, and on the corner form a neat fold.
Step 4. In the same way, hover the box from the end.
Now I'm finite exactly.
