The Kurtz Corner DIY tufted headboard tutorial Hello all! I’m so excited to share more about how I made the new headboard in our bedroom. I shared more about the start to this room redo, the new bed and the headboard earlier this week. I’ve made my own headboards (and for friends!) The headboard part I was used to – but I was totally intimidated by the tufting part. So here we go – I new the shape I wanted the headboard to be for awhile, but I just found out the other day that it had a name: I wanted the Belgrave look, which was totally easy to DIY. I wish I would have taken pics of how I cut the corners out, but it was so quick. I hope that makes sense – it was so fast I didn’t even think to take pics. Dad helped me take the board upstairs where I went to work! Like that one, I used mattress pads instead of foam from the craft store: Why this instead of regular foam? I had one I had picked up on clearance years ago (look for the XL twin sizes after back to school – you can find them for cheap!) Remember…no one will see this part.
Rick Rack Scarf I recently unearthed the first project I ever knit, a moth-eaten stockinette scarf. I made it over twenty years ago while I was spending a school year in rural France. My French "mother" was the town librarian and an amazing knitter. She opened her stash basket to me and walked me through every step of that crazy scarf. Since then I've made dozens of scarves, and I wonder sometimes if I've run out of fresh ideas for the next one. After all, the criteria for a scarf pattern are rather stringent: something that lies flat, that looks good on both sides and that has a soft and beautiful drape. With the holiday season upon us, I made sure to use a super special yarn for the super special people on your list, including scarf-o-phobe men! The Materials 4-5 skeins of Jade Sapphire's 8 Ply Cashmere, 100% Mongolian Cashmere. The Pattern Gauge 6 1/2 stitches = 1 inch in Rick Rack Rib Finished Size With 5 skeins: 7 inches wide and 66 inches long With 4 skeins: 7 inches wide and 53 inches long Begin Row 1:

About the author I'm the big kahuna with the whole shebang. DIY Button Tufted Headboard Following in the footsteps of some great bloggers, I made by very own button tufted headboard! If you're looking for a tutorial to follow, I highly recommend the ones over at Little Green Notebook and Brick City Love. My headboard took elements from both of those tutorials, and I must say that they were very helpful. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd just share some photos of my process and a few notes on things I learned as I went along. I'm not sure where the idea for this headboard first happened. For my California King mattress, I ended up making the headboard two feet tall and six feet wide. While other people have simply hung their headboards on the wall, I didn't really trust myself to be able to hang it securely enough to stand up to regular use. For my 6ft long headboard, I only purchased 2.5 yards of dark gray upholstery weight chenille fabric. I charted out the button spacing so that there were 5 long rows (3 of 9 buttons, 2 of 8 buttons).
