You will need some wrought iron (even some lying around your scrap yard will work), measuring tape and welding tools to make your homemade wrought iron headboard furniture.
  • Decide the size of wrought iron headboard you need. For this, you can measure the width of the wrought iron bed frame for which you are about to make the headboard. You can even measure the mattress and keep the width of your headboard slightly more than its size.
  • Prepare the wrought iron for making headboard. Remove rust if using old used wrought iron. Seal the wrought iron with the help of rust-prevention paint if needed.
  • Using the pieces of wrought iron, lay out the headboard design on the ground by keeping them side by side. For inspiration, you can see all kinds of metal headboards designs in magazines, websites etc. or in bed stores. Take a picture of �proposed headboard design� for reference while making wrought iron headboard.

  • Start welding the final headboard together. Begin with the outer edges working inside and finishing with any detailed design work in the end.
  • Let the welds cool completely before doing the next piece. This avoids burns and bends in the wrought iron and will give smooth look to your headboard furniture.
  • After you have made the headboard according to the intended design, secure the headboard to the bed frame with welds.

Making a wrought iron headboard is an easy task because there is no set pattern or design for any bed headboard. You can be as creative as you can while making a wrought iron headboard. If you, anyhow, commit a mistake while making the headboard, you can cleverly hide it into the design provided you think creatively when making a wrought iron furniture like a bed headboard
