How to Make a Faux Tree Headboard

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Thursday, July/04/2024

1). Place the plywood flat on a work surface so that the long side is vertically oriented. Draw the outline of a tree with limbs extending from a wide trunk on the plywood with a pencil.
2). Cut out the pencil lines to create the faux tree headboard using a jigsaw. Follow along the lines carefully, moving the saw along the surface of the wood just fast enough to allow the blade to cut through the wood until the outline is cut out completely.
3). Sand the cut edges of the plywood until they are smooth using a fine-grit sanding pad.
4). Spray an even coat of spray lacquer onto the plywood headboard cutout. Allow the lacquer to dry four hours and apply a second coat. Wait 24 hours for the second coat to dry before handling.
5). Slide a stud finder along the wall in the selected spot for the headboard. Mark the location of each stud with a pencil.
6). Hold the headboard against the wall. Drive pan head wood screws every 6 to 8 inches through the headboard into the wall at each stud location using a screw gun.
