Sew Headboard Covers For Every Season

Sew Headboard Covers for Every Season


If the headboard of your bed has seen better days, or if you just want a change, these headboard covers are easy to make. They are primarily for a rectangular shaped headboard. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Measure the width and height of the headboard, then double the height measurement so that the material folds in half over the top. Cut the material.


Cut the batting to the size of the front of the headboard. Press onto the underside of the material. This batting will be at the front of the headboard.


2. Using the iron on hemming tape, turn up about 1/2 inch along all edges of the material to make a clean edge, and iron in place.


3. To make the ties, cut ribbon into 16 equal lengths, (these will be tied in a bow, so make them long enough).


Sew 4 ribbons, equally spaced, along the inside edges of each side of the cover.


4. Fold the cover over the headboard and tie the ribbons in bows. You could make many of these, or at least, one for each season. They are so easy to make, with just a little sewing knowledge.
