DIY headboard ideas

My first DIY post is going to be about what to do with space that is above your bed if you do not have a headboard. Which a lot of beds now a days do not have headboards with them and you have to buy them separate which most people are not interested in doing. If you have a queen size bed like I do than you would need something big to make up for all that white space that will be above the bed. I first had a big picture that was hanging above my bed when I first moved into my apartment but I did not think that it took up enough space and with my bed being so big and the picture only being half the size as my bed I thought there was too much white space being shown. I had white christmas lights that had a white string... I decided to hang up around my bed...at first I was not going to add the curtains up there but I have the same kind of curtain hanging over my closet as a door and I took it down and put it in front of the lights and I thought it looked really pretty. So than I decided to take the picture I have hanging in the middle there and see what it would look like because the original picture I had hanging would have been to big to be in the middle of the lights. I got hooks that screw into the wall and I screwed them into my ceiling and put the two curtain panels on tension rods and than hung them on the hooks from the ceiling. I was very impressed with my idea of making this my headboard because it is really nice to lay in bed and just have that little bit of light behind you, that way you do not have to turn on a lamp.
