I loved this video ❤ Thank you so much for showing us all how to make a beautiful headboard! My husband and i were just talking about wanting to do this so this is perfect 🎉
Your project turned out lovely. I'm curious, though, is there is anything that prevents the headboard from tipping forward? Is it just the tension from the mattress that is holding it up and against the wall?
It’s our bed frame, we have an area where it can be tightly wedged so it doesn’t move at all. Obviously this would depend on the bed frame but if someone didn’t want to attach a headboard to the wall, a renter maybe, then I would suggest making one long enough to sit on the floor so the entire bed wedges it to the wall 👍🏼
Emma , beautiful project. I did not notice if the headboard is adhered to any surface. How do you keep it from shifting or falling forward onto your bed/heads?
Hi Emma, Great tutorial! I'm planning to do something similar myself. I'm wondering how it feels the sit up against it? is it comfortable enough? Can you still feel the MDF through the wadding? Thanks xx
The result looks stunning. Bravo! My concern is there is a lot of fabric on the back side. Could get expensive? Could do an elastic edge on the backside as an alternative. Also, I’d definitely recommend serging or zig-zag finishing those edges as they look like they’ll fray quickly. Lovely stuff, though.
Hello, it's really good, I'm thinking of give it a try. Is it attached to the bed or wall somehow? Doesn't it fall on you if you move a lot while you sleep? And the bottom part stays open, just with a hem?
Yes the bottom part stays open so you can remove it. I suppose you could add a zip but if it’s measured properly you don’t need a zip as it fits snuggly so wouldn’t ride up. We don’t have ours attached the wall at all, it’s firmly wedged into a part of our bed frame and it is solid so doesn’t move at all 🙌🏼 You could attach to the wall with screws and D rings 👍🏼

Dreamy lol, so classic and comfortable. Emma you have such a knack for DIY and clear instructions, very doable ( she says knowing full well she'd end up stapling her fingers to the plywood and cutting the fabric to the wrong measurements 😂😂😂)
I made a head board like this but for the outside material I made a duvet cover stuck the headboard inside and zipped it. Of course the measurements for the duvet was different than for a blanket to make sure it was tight but it worked perfectly
It’s like you read my mind!!!!! Again!!! lol I’ve been trying to plan how to diy a new headboard! Can I ask which colour you used in the linen fabric please? X
@@EmmaHill 😂 I need to be far quicker!!!!! Xx same with the Uniqlo pu sling bag, even with my elite level shop stalking skills, I still can’t find one 🙈🤷🏽♀️😘
It’s very firmly wedged in place but you could add wall mounting fixtures to attach to the wall or legs to stand on the floor if you’re renting and can’t drill into the wall 👍🏼
Ours is wedged very tightly into our bed frame so it doesn’t move but you could attach to the wall with screws, make it longer to stand on the floor and wedge to the wall with the entire bed or make legs 👍🏼
We didn’t, it’s wedged into our bed frame. Obviously this will depend on your bed frame but you can add hooks to the back of the headboard and screws in the wall, it’s not renter friendly but that’s the only option unless putting it on the floor and wedging with your bed x
Love how ur diys are always so clean … they don’t look like diys …very high quality professional work u do
Thank you x

Simple and classy. Well done!
It looks awesome! The only thing I didn’t get, how is this headboard secured? To the bed frame?
Beautifully done. Thank you for this.
This is so good. You got right to the point and didn’t bs us at any point in time in the video! This is great!! THANK YOU for sharing!
Super easy to follow. I just finished mine and I love it. My friend wants me to make her one too.
Looks lovely and a great tutorial. One question tho - how did you attach the headboard to the wall/bedframe so it doesn't move? Thanks
We didn’t. Ours just wedges in behind the mattress and doesn’t move because it’s tightly squeezed in x
@@EmmaHill wow - I'd be sure it'd move in the night and fall on our heads! 😅
@@sallyannc3176it would depend on the bed but ours is very firmly wedged so it doesn’t move regardless of what you may be doing in bed 😬
Emma I can’t thank you enough. You’ve just saved me on this project. Brilliant video ❤
Glad it was useful & thank you for watching ❤️
I think ive missed something in the video - what did you do to the bottom to keep it tidy??
She didn’t show it but she did mention that you could do a simple hem on the bottom edge.
Perfect timing! Thank you so much for the very clear ‘how to’ and the links for buying the products. 😊
Oh my goodness well done. So beautiful. I will be redoing my nieces room so this comes at a perfect time!
Let me know how you get on! x
I had no doubt about your creativity!!!
So simple and minimalistic, yet classy …

Hi Emma, where your bed-frame is from please?
Will the headboard fall down or is it secured to the wall?
Very nice, Emma. Lovely clear and concise instructions, as usual 👌🏼🌷
Your directions are so easy to follow. Thank you!
Love it! Have been wanting to do a headboard like this. I like the removable cover. Genius!
Thank You this was so well demoed. I will certainly try this . ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️

Always fun to see your DIY projects.
Emma Emma Emma what an inspiration you are , always simple and staright forward . Thank you 💗
Thank you x
Omg i'm so happy i found your video. It's just like the headboard i want and so easy to do! Lifesaver!!!
Beautiful result! Looks clean and professional 🤩😍
Thank you x
Brilliant job and really helpful 😊
Great tutorial, thank you ❤
Genius! Maybe some buttons for tufting are possible? Maybe if they are permanent and the fabric buttons in??
The result looks stunning. Bravo! My concern is there is a lot of fabric on the back side. Could get expensive? Could do an elastic edge on the backside as an alternative. Also, I’d definitely recommend serging or zig-zag finishing those edges as they look like they’ll fray quickly. Lovely stuff, though.

What a great idea; “necessity is the Mother of invention!” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️😊
Looks lovely!

Ah practice makes perfect, trust me I’ve had my stapling fingers to plywood moments over the years 😆
😅 there's hope for me yet!
I’m not a fan of DIY headboards but yours is beautifully executed!! amazing job Emma it’s perfect 🔥
Thank you x
Hi, excellent tutorial, thank you! Please could you tell me where the lovely striped cushion is from?
That was purchased from Etsy x
@@EmmaHill thank you :) If you happen to remember the name I'd really appreciate it but will have a good search! x
Gorgeous! Please tell us, how is it attached to the wall?
It’s not. It’s wedged into our bed frame so it doesn’t move 👍🏼
wooow that is stunning and so creative thank you 😊❤❤❤ enjoyed watching this video
Lovely job.Can I also ask where your cream rug is from.Thank you
Thank you very much! You made it nice and simple. The video I was looking for🎉😊
Very nice, thank you.
I love it! I want to make this. Thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you x
Thank you! You helped me a lot!
Great work. Love it! Crisp. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
This is great Emma !!!
Thank you x
Amazing. Thank you. ❤
I would love to try this, do you remember what thickness wading you used?
Hi, absolutely love these! Can I ask what weight wadding did you use for this please? :)
Hi, all the details are in the description box 👍
I made a head board like this but for the outside material I made a duvet cover stuck the headboard inside and zipped it. Of course the measurements for the duvet was different than for a blanket to make sure it was tight but it worked perfectly
That’s great! And a wonderful use of older things you already have 🙌🏼
I actually did this myself many years ago and loved the effect ❤
Me too!❤
It’s like you read my mind!!!!! Again!!! lol
I’ve been trying to plan how to diy a new headboard! Can I ask which colour you used in the linen fabric please? X
It’s ‘beige’ which I think is now sold out as it’s not an option any more 🙈
@@EmmaHill 😂 I need to be far quicker!!!!! Xx same with the Uniqlo pu sling bag, even with my elite level shop stalking skills, I still can’t find one 🙈🤷🏽♀️😘
@@kirstyvinter712🤣🤣🤣
Is the muslin cloth necessary or could i make do without it?
Love this tutorial - where is your bed frame from?
It’s from Get Laid Beds x
Your DIYs are epic Emma! ❤
Thank you ❤️
Very beautiful!
And love the linnen covers. Also from Amazon?
The bedding? No that’s from Secret Linen Store.
Beautiful ❤
You don't secure the headboard to the wall? What keeps it from falling over?
i assume the weight of the bed agaist it woud sufice fot it to not fall over?
Lovely, saved for future use x
Looks fab xxxx
Thank you x
really impressive!
You're a good sowner/seamstress
The headboard looks so good made that you could "fool" 😉👌🏻 us & bought it
✌🏻❄️
Haha thank you 😘
@@EmmaHill your welcome ✌🏻❄️
How do you keep the DIY headboard from moving?
It’s very firmly wedged in place but you could add wall mounting fixtures to attach to the wall or legs to stand on the floor if you’re renting and can’t drill into the wall 👍🏼
Love it! If only there was a way to attach a French cleat while still being able to use the slipcover.❤
The fabric you picked is it the cappuccino shade in the link you shared? x
No it’s ‘natural’
@ I didn’t see it as the link no longer does that shade it seems 🥲 but thank you!
Beautiful!
Love this idea❤❤❤❤
Thank you Tiana ☺️😘😘
I have been eyeing on bed head boards these days and this is just brilliant. Thanks Emma 😊
Thank you x
Love it and thank you
Love your videos! Where is your mattress from please?
Our mattress is a Silentnight Eco mattress x
@@EmmaHill Thank you! x
👏👏👏
You are very handy.
Haha thank you x
Stunning ❤
How do you avoid the fall?
Ours is wedged very tightly into our bed frame so it doesn’t move but you could attach to the wall with screws, make it longer to stand on the floor and wedge to the wall with the entire bed or make legs 👍🏼
Gorgeous! 🏅
Love your style
love your professional work and headboard design
Jopetas!!!!! eres una artista!!!!!!😍
Love it!!
😍! But did I miss how to fasten the board to the wall so it doesn’t fall?
We didn’t, it’s wedged into our bed frame. Obviously this will depend on your bed frame but you can add hooks to the back of the headboard and screws in the wall, it’s not renter friendly but that’s the only option unless putting it on the floor and wedging with your bed x
Great job!!!!
Excellent 😀
great work but what is keeping the diy headboard in place? there is a probability of it falling over
I was thinking the same
We have wedged it into our bed frame so it doesn’t move at all 👍🏼
Brilliant x
Emma, please can you share wall colour number in this video?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful
How much wadding is needed for this please :) thank for a great video!
That really depends on the size of the headboard you are making and the thickness you want it to be 👍
♥️
One way to fix to the wall is called a French cleat. But you’ll need someone with tools and know-how to help with this.
Nice........
❤❤
This is the woman who says she only has one set of bed linen… let’s send her some cash so she can begin 2024 with two sets
You don’t say how this is fixed to the wall, that is the bit I have the most trouble with.
Try a French cleat! Or hanging hardware

Lovely hope did you attach to bed
Thank you for this I’m doing it now 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
good luck 👍
