Upholstered Headboard

Very little sewing involved on this project. We took a 6'x3' piece of plywood and my husband rounded out the corners on one end. I nailed 2x2 posts on for legs, and one across the back for support. It has something like 6 layers of batting and then the red fabric (which I'm going to recover with brown as soon as we paint the bedroom). I got a button making kit and made the buttons and used a long needle to thread them through pre-drilled holes in the plywood. It took a short afternoon to make and it dramatically changed the look of the bedroom.
