Materials

– 2×4’s for the frame – Plywood – Miter saw – Kreg Jig. I used both the K4 and the Kreg320. But a Kreg 320 is good enough – Power Drill – Circular Saw – Wood glue

Step 1 – Cut 2X4’s to size

Measure out the width and height you need for your headboard. The best way to do this is to use masking tape and create a “headboard” on the wall to see if the height works for you.

Step 2 – Build the frame

Attach all the pieces of the frame by applying wood glue where the 2X4’s meet and using 2 1/2″ pocket hole screws.

Step 3 – Cut the plywood

Use a straight edge and cut off the excess.
