DIY Headbaords

I've been wanting to get a headboard for our bedroom for some time now.  Here is the thing, I don't want to spend a lot of money on this either.  So I've been looking on some websites for some good DIY Headbaords.  There are a few we've narrowed down too.  The first link does have some pretty good ideas that you can tweak to make more your style.

Another idea, the one I am thinking about doing

Fabric patchwork headboard

    Use scraps of coordinating fabrics to create a modern patchwork-effect headboard. To make the headboard, cut 8-inch squares from stiff florist's foam and 1/4-inch plywood. Cut 8-inch squares from quilt batting and place over foam squares. Glue all layers with Styroglue. Cut fabric into squares large enough to wrap the foam squares with at least a 1/2 -inch overlap on the back. Staple fabric to the back with a staple gun. Cut a piece of 1/4-inch plywood a few inches wider than your mattress on both sides. Line up the squares facedown in your desired pattern and attach them to each other with heavy-duty tape. Top them with the plywood, and drill wood screws at 8-inch intervals to secure all the layers. Attach ring hooks to the back of the plywood to hang the headboard on the wall.
