I pretty much followed their directions to a T. I bought the canvas stretcher frames in 52" x 24"from the StL Art Mart and I bought the batting at Wal-Mart. I got the burlap fabric for a whopping 8 bucks at Jackman Fabrics!
The room that the head board goes in is not finished by any sense of the word. But, I thought I'd at least show you my handiwork tonight. It's getting a major re-do from its earlier shabby chic days. There are lots of things I want for this room, let me refresh your memory here! : )
Step #1 connect stretcher frames-they fit together like puzzle pieces!
Step #2-cut the batting to size , leaving extra room to stretch over the frame!
Step #3-staple the heck out of the batting to the frame!
Step #4-flip over and make sure there are no gaps!
Step #5-cut the fabric to size! In my case the burlap--yes, burlap!
Step #6-staple fabric to frame!
The finished product!

As soon as the room gets to where I want it to be--I'll post updates and lots of pics that look semi-good in natural light! Thanks for looking!

Hey Joi,
Your headboard looks super fly fabulous fantastic! So glad our little tutorial could be of help. Looove the burlap. The entire color palette of the bed is drop dead gorge.

I love it, love it, love it!! Burlap has never looked so chic. It really completes the bed and I just adore that new bedding set.
This was such a teaser--I'm dying for more photos.
(Love Niko's cute butt in that one shot!)
