Hi guys! :D Thanks for the positive feedback. Here's my answer to a few of the commonly asked questions:
-- Is the headboard mounted: It's not mounted to the wall. I pulled my mattress about 2 inches off the base and stuck the headboard in that 2-inch space between the wall and the mattress. Because it's pretty sturdy, it doesn't move. And you don't really notice that the mattress overhangs the bed frame. Will add a photo to show soon!

Cost: If I had to buy the key materials, an approximate cost would be US$160 for wood planks, fabric, foam, batting, spray glue, wood screws. I already owned some of the materials and had the tools on hand.

-- Fabric colour and type: The fabric is a very pale lilac and I believe it's velveteen. Yes it's super soft :)

Additional thoughts:
-- Wood planks: Using the planks made the headboard super heavy so if weight is a concern, you can use a 3/4 inch sheet of plywood cut down into the size planks you'd like or use a lighter but sturdy material.

Hope this helps.

I like how you include any mistakes, so that we know what to watch out for VS acting like everything is super simple and you did it in 5 minutes 🤓💜

I came looking for inspiration to make a headboard, clicked on your video which showed up when I searched, heard your accent 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹-pride, immediately subbed. Love this vid.

I had no idea that channel tufted headboard could be so straightforward! It looks so luxe. Thanks for the awesome instructions.

[JNM]

I will definitely do this in January 2021. This is so very much luxurious.

[jisellelamont]

Sounds like a Trini accent! Looks awesome!

[jimmillecharles]

I’m from Trini too❤️ So happy I found this channel. Great video

[PARoth]

I think it was just as important to see what NOT to do as much as it was how to do it correctly. Good for you for showing that! Looks great.

it's always so wonderful to hear a Trini accent on the YT <3 great job!!! I'm definitely going to try this

Very nice job. I just ordered 2 single bed channel headboards off Amazon for an amazing £34.99 each, and they're surprisingly very well made and look great ! The bed shop wanted £139.00 each for theirs, so I declined. I think this style is much nicer than the quilted button style you see everywhere.

Hi I really love your personality and how you covered every single step mentioning the 'not to do's' as you go.
You are a smart person to have easily figured this out and, you have great taste in fabric. That is velvet fabric. There's silk velvet, cotton velvet and polyester (which is a bit too shinny). I believe you had a beautiful, perfect velvet and I love the color!. I hope you buy some scotchgard from walmart and spray it to protect it from any stains. I want to make my headboard now that you've inspired me! Thank you so much teacher 🙂💝🙏🏼

Loving my Trini accent and enjoying this

[gracefulvintage]

This is beautiful! I may make this early next year but use a foam insulation sheet from the big box stores instead of wood for the planks. Light weight & easy to cut with an electric knife. Thank you for the video, you did a great job!

[ndongsirijayson]

I'm going to start a job next week, which is making headboards🤣🤣🤣 so I decided to come watch some videos ❤️😍 beautiful job done. I've never done it but I'm good at DIY'S so hopefully the job won't be difficult for me.

[gabrielakcedeno]

When I heard the Trinidad accent 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😍 yesss thank you for this!

[colleenmannion]

Thanks so much! I watched about 25 videos on how to do this and will definitely be using your way! Great professional finish!

[khadidjabenkhelifa]

I followed your steps and I ended up with the best thing I ever done in my life

Beautiful headboard! I've been looking for something that's tuft without the button look and this is perfect. Thank you for the video and walking us through it.
