Tutorial on how to make the tufted headboard
The tufted headboard tutorial is finally done. It was way harder than I thought it would be, which is why I am late on getting the post up. I think it was harder to make this tutorial than it was to make the tufted headboard! I can not say that my instructions are perfect, which is why I am going to give you links at the bottom of this post of excellent DIY instructions on how to make a tufted headboard.
My headboard is not the norm by the way. I have decided to call it the Pin & Tuck style tufting. The way I do tufting is no way near as precise and time consuming as the standard Diamond Tufting that is done. Don’t get me wrong, I love me a good diamond tufting, with the deep tufts all laid out in a beautiful diamond pattern, you can’t get any classier than that. But I am way too impatient and too much of a perfectionist to do that method. So I came up with my own style, kind of a free style. Maybe some day I will take the time and really do a real diamond tufted headboard, but for now, this method works for me.
Just to keep everyone up to speed in case you missed my last post, this is the before
