DIY kits:    

While the do-it-yourself kits are a little bit more limited with the shapes, you can still achieve a beautiful custom look with the fabric that you choose. And there is an exciting new product just being introduced….   

Hot off the press:  HeadboardCraft™ is just now introducing their new Panels series of headboards- a Headboard Kit that do-it-yourselfers can custom design. Like all their headboard kits, these panels are ready to cover right out of the box. No sewing or hot glue guns required! All you need is a standard duty staple gun, your own fabric, and an afternoon. With this new Panels series, you can design your own headboard by using a combination of panels, or use one of their suggested designs. Panels are priced individually so you can mix and match. They have posted a how-to video on their website, so you can know what you’re getting yourself into before you buy. They also offer a 30-day Money Back Guarantee.    

 

   

 

  

Pricing:    

DIY Panel Series:  Ranges from $200 for a twin to $340 for a king.   That does not include your fabric, which is purchased separately.   

Custom Made at Factory:  Prices start at $316 for a twin, plus 2 yards of fabric.  Upholstery fabric can range from $25 – $40 on average, but of course it can go up from there.  So on average the total cost can start from:  $369 – $399 for a twin size custom made head board.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know the people behind HeadboardCraft™, as they also have a custom order upholstered headboard line for interior designers, called the Carolina Headboard Company. HeadboardCraft™ has been designing, developing and manufacturing upholstered headboard kits for more than fifteen years.

Virtually anyone can cover one of our headboards in an afternoon. Using our upholstered headboard kits let you create couture décor on a budget.”
