DIY $50 RUSTIC FARMHOUSE HEADBOARD

Who wants to build the easiest DIY Rustic Headboard ever? I am excited because not only is this King size headboard easy to make, but is affordable at only $50 and is quality made! We took Ana White's Queen Size Headboard Tutorial and tweaked it to a King and then found pieces of material for example using posts instead of random pieces to make it more sturdy, less materials and less money! Win, Win, Win, right? Please let me know if you do this DIY and make sure to tag me on Instagram @livingitcountrychannel so I can share your photo on my stories!

Headboard Instructions

We took one - 4 x 4 x 10 fence post and cut it in half so we had two 4 x 4 x 5 pieces for the posts to our headboard.

Next we took 2 - 1 x 2 pieces of wood and cut them to 35.5 inches for in the inner part to the headboard on the post. This would give something for the tounge and groove to hold on to.

The top piece is just a simple 2 x 6 at 84.5 inches

We then used 7 tounge and groves at 75.5 inches in length.

We used a 1 x 2 at 75.5 inches in length to clean up the top portion of the tounge and groove

Then a 1 x 3 at 75.5 inches for the bottom of the tounge and groove!

Also just bought and built this. Around $100 and this thing is one heavy headboard!! We love it and I didn’t realize how massive it is!! Thank for posting!!

[guitargeek]

Great video! I have one question. You have what looks like a 2x6 at the bottom of headboard about the height of the smart base? Did you attach the smart base to the headboard? Thank you.

[MyBlessedNest]

Wow! Love this!! Shared with my hubby .... he wants to build us a bed!

[noreen_ann]

How did you attach the headboard to your bed frame? I love it. I have some leftover wood siding that I think I am going to try to use similar to the tongue and grove pieces. Thanks

[wesleyhudson]

That’s awesome. What did you use to connect everything together. I would like a little more detail on the attachment. Buying supplies to tackle this one and wanted to make sure I got it perfect like y’all did. Lol y’all. Yep from the south!!!

[jjz]

It came out beautiful. Can you show how you guys attached it to the wall ?

[charlievalencia]

Love it! Easy to follow and simple. My husband and I made your bed! All the way in Alaska❤️.

[angeliaanderson]

I tweeked it for a full size. It was really easy.

[heatherbutler]

Love it!! Could I get all of the sizes of wood you used, they’re not listed in the description box. I’m sorry I couldn’t really understand all the pieces you were saying. Thank you, Heather.

What stain did you use for the bed? Any specific advice for the look you achieved with the stain?

[ginamaria]

looking for king headboard as my king Wooden Platform Bed Frame did not come with headboard and is the same walnut color. My question on changing your "Ana White" plan and using 4x4, was the headboard heavy with extra thickness of 4x4.

[alicia]

Do you have to attach it to your bed frame. Or will it hold pinned between bed and wall?

[katalinakerse]

Love it! Question: Is it attached to the wall? If so, how? lol

[kellymccance]

Did you add type of clear coat finish after you stained the headboard?

[fionamorris]

I love this headboard. Just gorgeous.❤️❤️
