Instructions

  1. Cut your fabric in half 3 yards each.
  2. Lay fabric inside pieces together and sew one side to make it into a square.
  3. Iron down the stick so it lays flat.
  4. Take the quilting batting and lay on the canvas. Measure a square that is 1” less than your canvas. Repeat this step 4 times to give you 4 squares of batting.
  5. Hand stitch the batting around the outside so it holds together.
  6. Spread around the E6000 glue generously on to the front of the canvas.
  7. Lay your batting on top and wait for glue to dry.
  8. Lay your décor fabric over the top of the batting & canvas. Make sure seam is close to the bottom of the canvas.
  9. Trim fabric around the out side leaving about 3” extra to be wrapped around frame.
  10. Wrap fabric around to the back of the frame & staple fabric to the back. (make sure you are pulling tight enough so you don’t leave wrinkles.)
  11. Flip the canvas so it’s on its front and staple 1” in next to your batting. It will give you a flat edge finish around your headboard.
  12. Make two large fabric buttons and stitch them on your frame using a canvas needle. It will pull the batting in to give you a tufted look.
  13. Take your ribbon, using fabric glue. Glue down over your staples to give it a finished look.
