5 Crafty Projects That Will Add A Little Magic To Your Bed

Bedtime feeling a little humdrum? Don’t worry, these 5 fabulous “bed hacks” will take your bed from ho-hum to hubba-hubba in next to no time. From  romantic easy-to-make canopies to beautiful new headboards, let’s make bedtime a little bit more beautiful…

1. Simple Wooden Headboard from Boxy Colonial

It might be simple but we think that this wooden plank headboard looks brilliant. We can picture this working beautifully in all sorts of bedrooms and we’d love to see it done with different colors and varieties of wood. Smart, simple and classy, this is the perfect fast hack to add a little personality to your sleepy place. You’ll find a complete how to over here.

2. Gauzy Bed Canopy from Olive and Love

Dreamy canopies are the perfect way to turn your bed into something extra special, but they’re not always easy to cobble together from scratch. Take it from someone who frequently wakes up drowning in a whole collapsed DIY canopy complete with pegs. Fortunately, Olive and Love know how to do things properly and you can create your very own magical cocoon using eye bolts, turn buckles, wire thread, sheer curtains and these instructions!

3.  “Stick On” Headboard from Blik

A whole new boudoir look in a matter of minutes! If your bedroom is looking a little bare and bland, why not stencil, paint or stick on a “faux” headboard behind your bed? You don’t need to buy one either. If you’re feeling creative (and precise) you can stencil on your very own version. Best of all? You can change them as often as you like – just whip out your paintbrush! Checkout the Blik range for inspiration…

4. Sparkly Fairy Light Headboard from Shelterness

We’re obsessed with this twinkly DIY headboard-come-lightbox here at Two Little Fleas. We almost love it as much as a game of free no deposit bingo. Almost. This gorgeous headboard is like a giant nightlight for grown ups who love sparkly things and it’s utterly lovely. You’ll find instructions over here.

5. Make Do & Mend Magic from Better Homes & Gardens

Perfect for those of you who love a poke around at car boots, antiques places, auctions and vintage fairs – this headboard could be, well, anything! Keep your eyes peeled for relatively flat pieces (old screens and doors work especially well) and reclaim them as your new, quirky headboard. Just make sure you fasten your find securely to the wall.
