When we moved to Indianapolis, from Fort Wayne, our son was in the 7th grade and I decided to make him a hockey headboard. We still use it today with a quilt that was made with all his jerseys and t- shirts from all the teams he has played for.
To make the headboard I bought a package of mite orange sticks and 4 adult sticks. All the sticks are wood. I cut the small sticks just at the end of the Sher-Wood label and the large sticks to the length that worked for the bed.
I laid the small sticks on the floor face side down in the pattern I wanted, and then laid the large stick on top of them spacing them in the pattern I liked. You can then put a dab of hot glue to hold them in place in between the spot where they intersect. I just got out the drill and drilled a hole through the back of the large stick and part way into the small stick. I then screwed the pieces together. I drilled holes through the large sticks in four inconspicuous spots to screw them into anchors in the wall. It was all very easy!
The headboard started out on a twin bed and is now on a queen. They both looked great!
