It comes in a 4x8 sheet in 2 different thicknesses. Lightweight! I’m thinking of using pink foamboard from Home Depot to make a headboard. It comes in a 4×8 sheet in 2 different thicknesses.

Hope it helps! And it's so cute that you picked up the same bedding that Olivia had in her bedroom- unfortunately we don't have other pics of her room with that bedding for ya. xo, s

Thanks for such a helpful, and fun, resource! I will be giving my daughter a big girl room sooner than I'm ready; and love the idea of a custom headboard. I will be buying her a full bed and mattress as well. Do I just need a basic frame if I'm making my own headboard? Suggestions on places for cheap ones since it won't be seen? Also, completely random, but the bedding I've had saved for two years is that french poodle on a vespa bedding that is in your neice's room! I spotted it on overstock and had to have it. Do you have more pics of her room with that bedding? (I think it's since been changed.) I swear your blog covers every topic I ever look up! Thanks for such a helpful, and fun, resource!

My parents want to give us their old squeeky brass headboard which is definately not our style! I can't wait to make this headboard! Thanks for the directions.
