Looking for a cute headboard for teenagers?

I'm looking for a cute, teenaged-theme KING-sized headboard. Not bed - I'd prefer just headboard. I'd also prefer it not to be metal..is there any way for it to be fabric, so I can put pictures and stuff on it? I've been looking all over for one so far, but no luck. Also, the cheaper the better.


Any ideas?Looking for a cute headboard for teenagers?
you said it yourselfLooking for a cute headboard for teenagers?
It is so easy to make your own headboard. Jest get a peice of particle board from home depot, they will cut it to the size you need, go to the fabric store, get some padding, and the material you want, wrap the padding, staple it with a staple gun, then do the same with the fabric (you start stapling on the back of what would be the front, in the middle, and work your way out). You could also go to the craft store, get a role of cork board, cut it into squares, and put a checkerboard design over your bed. You could attach this with mounting tape to the wall over the bed.
-One of my friends took fabric and stretched it over cardboard. She did this about 3 times and framed it and put them next to each other as a headboard.


-You could also take 2 posters from http://www.allposters.com/ and frame them as a head board.


-You could but chalkboard paint, paint it over the bed and ';frame'; it with wooden boards or just leave it there without a frame.


- pbteen has some headboards

-They also sell magnetic paint. So you can put the magnetic paint on under the chalkboard paint and so your kid can write on the chalkboard and hang stuff on with magnets.





Hope I could help!
If you or anyone you know is crafty at all you can make one with a piece of wood, some cotton batting, and fabric that you love. Maybe these sites will help you:
