To Make an Contemporary Faux Slate Head Board for your bed you will need:

MDF

Jig Saw

Contemporary Faux Slate peel and stick tiles

Spray adhesive

Scissors or exacto knife

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 Contemporary Faux Slate 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 one pieces of MDF to these specific measurements:

Measure how wide your bed is.

Now, have the MDF cut to the largest square possible to match the width of your bed. You can always make it larger if your want though! The look is contemporary and one large headboard is what we are aiming for.

Now, Lay your pieces of MDF outside on a flat work surface. Spray it lightly with a strong adhesive spray. This will help each tile really stick in the long run. You can skip this step though, those little peel and stick tiles are super sticky.
