Craftster member Jessyratfink recently posted pictures of this awesome book headboard project. She's no stranger to upcycling old books into home furnishings. In fact, we featured her DIY instructions for a book-legged table here.
Jessy explains, "I work at a used bookstore, and so I was able to save a lot of old books and wanted to reuse them. I've previously done a table with book legs and a bookshelf out of old encyclopedias. I wanted something a little prettier this time. [The headboard] is made out of book covers, Elmer's Glue-All, a plywood backing, and some polyurethane to seal it. It was really simple as you just glue them down in layers!"

Great headboard....I also love the quilt.
1hmm, just a little too much for me,.,
2The headboard is very creative, but I think the bright colors combined with the patchwork quilt make the room seem really busy. If I had neutral bedding, I would go more bold in my headboard colors. As it stands, I have vintage quilts on my bed that I like to stand out, so I would choose more neutral shades of book covers for my headboard.
3I think this would be a fun idea for a children's room!
4That is so adorable!
5Great idea. I'd love to do this for my daughters room. Maybe use jacket covers or a mix of jackets and books.
6Thanks,
