Stylish night's sleep
Your bedroom can handle a little makeover? How about a new bed head. We'll show you how easy it is.
You need this for the head of the bed:
- Wooden plate (here 140 cm high x 143 cm wide, depending on the bed width, about 0.8 cm thick, hardware store)
- Foam board (here 140 x 143 x 5 cm, eg foam-schwestern-luebke.de)
- Drilling machine with 4 wood drills and 6 stone drills
- double-sided adhesive tape (carpet tape;
- striped fabric (eg from www.stoffe-zanderino.de, art. no. 7563-2, ca. 12, 98 €)
- Electronic stapler
- 14 buttons, 2 cm (haberdashery)
- 14 flat buttons as a counter button (haberdashery)
- tear-resistant sewing thread (haberdashery)
- Long thin Nähnadelz. B. doll needle (haberdashery)
- 2 hanging plates, incl. Angle screws and dowels (hardware store)
- ruler
- pencil
- fabric scissors
- hammer
And that's how easy it is:
1. Cut a plate in the hardware store.
2. Cut the foam to the desired size .
3. Mark holes for fastening the knobs at the desired distance and drill holes with the wood drill.
4. Apply double-sided adhesive to the wooden panel : once around the edge and once across and along the middle.
5. Stick the foam plate on it.
6. Place the fabric on the foam board. Break in the edges of the fabric and start at the top center to fasten the fabric with the tacker . Then festtackern the opposite side. Then left and right and always go from the center to the outside.
7. Double the thread from the sewing thread. Pull through the bar of the button and pierce the needle through the end of the loop so that the thread is tight.
8. Pierce the needle through fabric and foam board and through the pre-drilled hole in the wooden wall.
9. On the wooden wall back the counter button is sewn . Thereafter, the thread is stabbed back on the top through the web of the top button and back through the back wall.
10. Pull the thread tight. It is best to press the upper button into the pad, tighten the thread and wrap it around the thread under the back button. Releasing the top button creates a tension that holds the thread.
11. The hanging plates are glued at the same distance to the top and side edges.
12. Transfer the points of the suspension to the wall . Drill holes with the stone drill and use the hammer to hammer the dowels into the wall. Hang the bed head on the angle screws screwed into the wall .
