I sold my old headboard on Craigslist last week because it was too country cottege for my apartment but I couldnt afford a new tufted headboard which costs about $250 somewhere like Target or World Market.
I was able to this off for just around $50. I highly recommend this project. I bought everything yesterday and with the help of Andre (thanks mister!), I was able to complete it in about 3 hours.

I was lucky enough to save some money on foam because used an old sofa bed mattress.
The size was perfect, and it was easy to cut.
Doing the corners for the batting was the tricky thing because if its messy it will be lumpy when you put the top fabric on. I suggest playing around with it. I think everyone has a corner trick. I was origionally going to do it like a present but that was too foldy for me to pull off. I ended up pulling one end over and bringing it back over for one clean fold. I will get a close up pic of it. I cant explain it well, which is why I am a fan of you finding what works best for you.
I had this blue curtain laying around that I always thought would be an elegant cover. It did. I tried it. It was too icy. Too themey. Winter Wonderland.
I ended up going with this fabulous brownish, goldish curtain I had from Target. I originally paid $30 for it.
HARDEST PART: The tufting. I bought these awesome buttons that I covered with fabric then predrilled holes in the wood... the trouble was threading the button straight through the wood. The one in the middle is a tad higher then the other 2, but its ok cause its in the middle and I can live with that.

I still have to go back and make my bed and fold and staple some wrinkles but it looks great! I am happy with it. I put it on the wall using 2 1x4's. I screwed one onto the board and the other to the wall (parallel to each other) at the top of the board. I used some sticky foam to keep them together. At the bottom of the board I used a small piece of 1x4 to make sure that it was also kept the same distance as the wall. Its sturdy and easy to remove.
Total Spent:
Ply wood $12
Staple gun and staples $13
Screws $4
3 Buttons: $2
Foam: Free
Batting(4 yards--too much): $20
Fabric (that I ended up not using): $10
Total: $51 ($41, if you dont count the fabric I didnt use)
The best thing about this project is that I can change the fabric out when I want to change my look and its easy to move when my lease is up.
I ended up paying less than I expected because I had the foam and the fabric. I am sure everyone has one of the things I bought laying around-- Take a look! How can you cut corners?!

I would love to see how you put it on the wall. Trying to figure it out is my biggest problem.
