The first step is to cut your MDF to size. I recommend letting the professionals at the home improvement store make these cuts for you. They only charge 25 cents a cut!

My measurements are merely recommendations for a Baby Blanket bed headboard. You can easily change the dimensions of this headboard for a twin, full, or king-sized bed based on the size of your bed.

Cut three separate pieces of MDF to these specific measurements:

Tip: If your baby blanket is large enough you can cut one piece of MDF and cover the entire headboard with one blanket.

Measure how wide your bed is.

Now, have the MDF cut to the largest square possible to match the width of your toddler's bed. You can always make it larger if your want though! The look is in threes, so three across is what we are going for.

You need at least three of these, but you can make it as wide or as tall as you want.

Now, cut a piece of foam to fit each of the three or more pieces of MDF exactly. You can buy sheets of foam at any fabric store. To save time you can as them to cut it. You can also easily cut it at home using an electric knife.
