Welcome to my channel Polkilo!

Today I will show you from Start to finish how to make your own upholstered, channel-style headboard.

I used a sheet of plywood, thick foam, quilt batting, fabric, roofing nails create a budget-friendly headboard for a bed. The headboard is mounted on the wall once it's assembled together.

Hello!

I made a soft headboard for the bed. It's easy to make and does not require many professional tools.

I needed the following materials:

- Plywood 1400*1000*12 mm

- Sheet of foam rubber 1200*2000*30 mm

- Sintepon 1000*2000*10 mm

- Fabric 2 pieces 1400*1000 mm

- Timber 1500*20*40 mm 5 pcs

- Spunbond fabric

- Adhesive for foam rubber Sintex

I drew a pattern on plywood and cut it with a circular saw.

Foam rubber cut out according to the details template. I glued the foam rubber with a special glue for foam rubber.

I covered the finished panels with padding polyester to round the corners of the foam rubber.

Then I covered the panels with fabric.

Upholstered panels with spunbond from the back. I made a frame from a bar, and fixed soft panels on it.

Along the perimeter of the frame, I launched an LED strip. A bunch of glow modes and is controlled from a mobile phone. If you feel like it, you can do the same :)
