Pillow Headboard

This headboard is by far the easiest to make. I bought both standard and Euro pillow shams that matched the bedspread in my guest room. Then, I went to World Market and bought four decorative hooks. The bed skirt that came with the comforter is blue checked and I was lucky to find ribbon that matched it exactly. SCORE!!!

These were the Euro shams I used for this bed in our home in Indiana

Measure a few inches from the ends of the sham. Cut four pieces of ribbon as long as you need to make the size bow you want.  I folded the ribbon in half  and I then used little safety pins to hold the folded end of ribbon to the sham. Then I tied a bow with the ribbon to make a loop to hang it on the hook. One bow on each side of the sham.

Hooks I bought at World Market and I think they were just a few dollars a piece.

I then held the pillow up to the wall to measure the distance between bows to mark for the hooks. I hung the hooks with anchors and then hung the pillows.  These are great headboards because they look great, and you can sit in bed and read leaning back on the headboard.

In Indiana I used the bedspread, skirt, shams, quilt and curtains that came as a set.  In our house in Virginia I decided to buy a red bedspread to go with the skirt, quit and shams. I then bought material that matched the back of the quilt to make curtains. I also used the standard shams as the headboard instead of the Euro shams.

I love how easy it was to change one or two items and you can get a different look.

Love the red! And the bear!
