Note: If using this material list, there will be some slight differences from the headboard shown in the video. The primary difference is the overall depth of the headboard. Changes to the list of materials include: Thinner plywood, thinner foam padding, no dust cover, 50lb limit for hardware (sufficient for this project), and different fabric. Any or all of these changes can be made, but I recommend paying close attention to the dimensions of the foam and fabric to ensure you have enough material to cover each panel.
