Vintage Sepia Photographs

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! I recommend about 15 inches by 15 inches. You will be covering a bunch of squares to build one large headboard.

My measurements are merely recommendations for a bed headboard. You can easily change the dimensions of this Vintage Sepia Photographs headboard for a twin, full, or king-sized bed based.

Cut separate pieces of MDF to these specific measurements: 15X15 inches.

Now, have the canvas cut out to 18 by 18 inches. This will allow for about 3 inches to overlap onto the back to attach it.

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

Takeaways
  • You can easily change the dimensions of this Vintage Sepia Photographs headboard for a twin.
  • I recommend about 15 inches by 15 inches.
  • They only charge 25 cents a cut!
