Headboard Project: Started!

I started my headboard project today! You should have seen all the men staring at me like I was a crazy lady while buying plywood at Home Depot. I picked it out, got it cut to size, and then attempted to put it in the car by myself. I say attempted because I failed and had to have help from a nice man in the parking lot. Luckily for me, it was all down hill after that! I got to my parents house where we unloaded the plywood, marked off where we would cut it, and got out the power tools! We used something round that we found in the garage to create the shape I wanted and then started cutting! Here is how it looks now; what potential!


We could have easily completed the project today, but we are still waiting on the foam to be delivered early next week. The next steps will be to cut the foam to size and spray glue it to the plywood, wrap batting around the headboard, attach the fabric with a staple gun, and then finish it off with some nailhead trim. We hope to get it completed by next week and I can't wait to post pictures of the end result! Here are some more pictures of the headboard with the fabric:
