I Built My Daughter A Dream Bunk Bed

What happens here

For the upholstered headboard, cut foam and batting to the exact size of the headboard panels. Wrap each panel in batting, then in the chosen fabric, stapling the fabric securely to the back of the panel with a staple gun. Create three vertical tufted sections by screwing through the foam, batting, and fabric into the MDF. Secure the finished upholstered panels to the bed frame.

Goal: Create and install a plush, upholstered headboard.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Ryobi — Driving screws for tufting and installation
  • Fabric — Covering the headboard (e.g., velvet)
  • Foam — Padding for the headboard
  • Staple Gun Ryobi — Securing fabric to the headboard panels
