Most beds simply look better with a headboard. You’ll see 40 terrific projects here that you can DIY, for a great headboard. Whether you’d like to make one out of wood or fabric, there’s the perfect project for you.
If you are a beginner, we recommend you start with a simpler project among the group, one that has less embellishments. But if you are more advanced, then give some of the others a try. Such as the Star Wars themed lightsaber bed! Which is perfect for any big Star Wars fan, kid or adult alike.

When you make a headboard as a DIY, always make sure to start with high quality materials. Yes, you can make a great one with pallets, but remember to check that your chosen pallet is in excellent condition. You’ll want your headboard to last a long time.
